Answer
Hello, hani,

It makes me sad that you went through that. I would have wanted you to get a second opinion, because ultrasounds aren't all that reliable, especially early enough so that a pill abortion is likely to work. How far along were you? Did you calculate from your last period, or from when you think you conceived? Did you observe your baby during the bleeding?

Bleeding after a pill abortion can last for weeks. Be prepared for sudden and unexpected heavy bleeding any time. It would probably be wise to try to wait about two months to try again, but if you get pregnant earlier, don't do anything about it. Just let it run.

You really should talk to a doctor, and have him examine and test you to see if your body is ready for another pregnancy. Don't go to the one you have been going to. I'm not sure you should trust him. Giving you pills probably wasn't wise, medically speaking.

You may also benefit from some counseling. There is online counseling available to you here:

I won't be able to do it now, but later, I can look and see if there is counseling available in your area. There probably is. I will let you know where you can find it.

Please don't blame yourself. If you were told something false, then you are not to blame. If your baby really had died, then you didn't do any harm. I will be here for you so you can talk about what is on your heart. Please take care.
