Today i will follow the portion of 3 pills a day for 2 days as her inscription. i felt lots of cramps, but no blood was noticed, only 3 or 4 drops on a tissue after peeying. Right now i am in week 6, and still i through up and feel same factors of pregnancy. Didn't the medicine take effect? am i still pregnant? if there is still a baby would it be normal or deformed? i am afraid Please advise me.
Answer Hi Xavier :)
There's a chance it didn't work,and you should visit a doctor to check, just to be sure. But, on the other hand, it might've worked, it's hard to know, but the small portion of blood indicates it might not have. Of course, the pregnancy hormone is still in you, so some of those pregnancy side efefcts cans till be felt even if the embryo was removed. And there is defintiely a chance the baby would be affected, so seeing a doctor is necessary.
