How do I know if it worked?
The desire to have a successful abortion causes anxiety but, in some cases, this may become a major problem. Due to this anxiety, women find it difficult to properly accomplish all the steps for an abortion and rush into premature wrong decisions.
The only quick way to find out if an abortion worked is through an ultrasound. You should get this ultrasound approximately 7 days after taking Cytotec.
…what if I get the ultrasound before the 7 days?
If you get an ultrasound before the 7 days, then know that there is a risk that your abortion might not be complete yet. The abortion is rarely a one-off event where everything happens in one single moment. We say this because usually there are several bleedings until the process is finished. Therefore, you should wait, control your anxiety and go for an ultrasound scan 7 days after taking the medication.
It is also possible to take a pregnancy test (from the pharmacy or blood tests), but only after a period of 4 weeks. When these type of tests are taken before this period of time, they usually indicate a false positive. This happens because the hormonal levels take a few weeks until they go back to normal.
…what if I don’t get an ultrasound?
It is your choice not to go for an ultrasound scan as you believe your abortion was successful, however, every single day there are cases of women who believed their abortion had worked, but in reality, their pregnancies continued normally. Most of the times, when women find out they are still pregnant, it is already too late, and therefore impossible to repeat a safe medical abortion.

Yes. It’s perfectly normal. Bleeding does not need to be continuous. It can come and go.

I have had a complete abortion procedure but then am not sure yet if it was successful…I had heavy bleeding at 1st with big clots which is normal..my bleeding has stabilised and comes out like my normal monthly periods but am still having period pains and are quiet severe but go away with pain killers…what is the best medicine to clean up my stomach to make sure there is no clots of blood or any dirt in my stomach??
Hi,
The question is not clear. You want to clean your stomach?
You already did the appropriate tests (ultrasound) after the abortion?
Hi i took cytotec yesterday and i Bleed only for one hour and then now the bleeding stops it’s did the abortion are successful or not?? thank you
Hi,
You need to do an ultrasound.
I had a medication abortion at 7 weeks pregnant about 8 weeks ago. I bled a little bit .. Nothing major & I no longer felt pregnant. I ended up needing an ultrasound for something else the other day & they found me to be 15 weeks pregnant !!!!!! I do not want to have a procedure done; what risks is my baby looking at.
Hi Kayla,
It is no longer possible to do a medical abortion safely. The risk is very high, especially bleeding.
What risk is my baby at now that I took the medication & it failed ?
Hi Kayla,
The risk is very low. Please see this link:

went today for a follow-up & was given a regular ultrasound but still showing a faint positive (in the urine sample) from my hormone level being up still, she called another girl in to look at the screen (she asked her if she could see it & the other girl said yes) then I was told I needed to come again Friday for a vaginal ultrasound to confirm everything was clear cause the doctor that did those wasn’t in today! When I questioned things I was told nothing is wrong with me but they need to make sure everything is gone.. I’m really stressing now because I don’t want to have to go through the vacuum procedure if I’m not clear! It has been almost 6 weeks since the procedure & I haven’t started my period
Hello,
We understand. Effectively ultrasound to confirm it is necessary. Hormonal testing, in general, may fail. Usually pregnancy remnants out naturally without problems.
Hi, where to buy this medicine kit? I am 2 months pregnant and i am from philippines. Where to order this kind of medicine? Many fake here in this country and I scammed twice. ? Please help.
Hi Mitch,
Is easy. Just the patient register on our website and do a free online medical consultation. If it is approved ( the situation where the patient had clinical conditions to perform an abortion) you can ask for the pills. In the case, they are sent six (06) misoprostol tablets (Cytotec).
I had medical abortion 4 weeks ago. I.was 22 days pregnant. I bleed for one week. First day was heavy for 6-8 hours till I passed a one and only clot. After that I was ok. And bleeding become heavy again on day 3.. which remains for two days. ultrasounds after 8 &11 days, both shows empty uterus. Now the thing is, I have no periods yet. And also I gain belly fat and uterus fat too. Also I am suffering from constipation, nausea, stomach cramps from past three, four days. In addition, I stayed in severe stress in past two weeks after abortion. Pls help me out when will be I become normal? And get rid of this still pregnant phobia 🙁 I don’t have any sexual activity since I conceived.
Hello,
After conducting a medical abortion is normal menstruation take some time to normalize. Typically a 06/08 weeks.
From what you describe apparently you are having symptoms related to stress and not the abortion itself. We believe it is important to do a general check up.
Just try to relax.
