AnswerYou can have a failed medical abortion. That is why we always have patients come in for an ultrasound 1 to 2 weeks after taking the medication. You can have bleeding but it sounds like the bleeding was not enough to pass the pregnancy. The information I have says there can be risks but some fetuses have no problems. We are now using less medication 200 mg instead of 600mg so the risk may be lower. You need to see a geneticist. It is not recommended to continue a pregnancy after a medical abortion. You may consider a second opinion. Women on Waves or other sites may be helpful.
