Has my abortion failed?

2 weeks ago I found I was pregnant. Due to damage in my fallopian tubes I was told I could never conceive without the aid of IVF. Therefore it was a shock we found out I was pregnant. Although it has been a hard decision, due to our current circumstances we feel abortion is best as we would not be able to provide for our child at this stage in life.

On Tuesday I had my scan and first pill. During the scan they could not locate the baby or sac so I had to have a internal scan. Here they still could not locate the baby and mentioned I could have an ecpotic pregnancy although still couldn't see anything. In the end they just said I may be so early and they just can't see it so started the procedure.

Yesterday I went back for the second pill. I inserted the pill vaginally and cramping started within half hour. In the hour I felt sick and awful. I went to the toilet and wiped and saw I had started bleeding. In those few wipes there were tiny clots but nothing major. Cramping continued and I filled about one pad and that was is. I wiped myself again and noticed the pills had then come out. I rang the clinic and was told this was normal. About 4 hours after taking the tablet the pain eased and bleeding almost stopped completely.

It is now the next day and I am barely bleeding, I still have awful stomach cramps and have been sick as constantly feel sick. I feel no different in myself and if anything feel worse. I rang the clinic and asked for advice and all they said is the abortion can take up to one week. I don't think I can go through with this another week. I am in too much discomfort. I am scared I am having a ecpotic pregnancy which will explain why there were no big clots or tissue. Or has the abortion just failed. Please offer advice as I feel I am going mad.

They shouldn't have really carried on with the termination without evidence of a pregnancy or a confirmation of ectopic surely??
I may be wrong but that's my understanding. It could have been chemical??

Thank you. I wish we delayed the procedure now to. I am debating on a&e but scared to waste there time in case I am panicking over nothing. They have not even offered me a follow up scan to see if everything is okay. Only a blood test. Just feel so stressed and overwhelmed.

You aren't wasting time. If you do happen to have an ectopic it's really dangerous to be left.

I'm a nurse, and I'm not allowed to give any medical advice but I can assure you an a&e visit wouldn't be a waste of time in this case especially with your history.

Thanks

Thank you, I will head over to A&E

How are you op?

Hey,

Sorry I had a long day was in bed early. They kept saying the Dr wouldn't have carried on with the procedure if she thought it was ectopic, but this was something she was not assuring us about hence out concern. Anyway I had an examination and the Dr said I should be losing it within the next 2 days. Hopefully will be soon. Thank you for asking :)
