QuestionHello, I have done medicinal abortion when I was 5 weeks and 3days pregnant and took first medicine on 14 july. I am still bleeding though not much. today on 1 august I did home pregnancy test and it shows positive. Am I still pregnant?
AnswerHello, Jagruti,
I can't tell you over the internet whether you are still pregnant or not. However, I can offer some observations. If you are measuring your pregnancy from the possible time of conception, you are probably still pregnant. If you are measuring from your last menstrual period, then you are probably not pregnant. Hormones take several weeks to revert back to their non-pregnant state. So a home pregnancy test would show positive for awhile.
If you are still pregnant, you need to leave things alone. Those pills are too dangerous in the first place. You also need to watch the bleeding closely, because the pills stop the hormone that controls a woman's bleeding. You should make sure and eat spicy food with red hot peppers in it on a regular basis until the bleeding is completely over. There are far too many women bleeding to death in India, and the bleeding can start up again after it seems everything is fine.
Whatever you do, don't try that again. These pills can kill. Powerful drugs like that should only be taken under the supervision of a doctor. No ethical doctor would ever give these pills to a pregnant woman, either. It is too dangerous.
If you are still pregnant, please do not try to do anything else about it. It is highly likely your baby will be fine, but any other thing you try to do could kill you or seriously harm you, and it's not worth the risk. There are better answers.
Please let me know how things go, and feel free to ask more questions. Stay safe!
