Is this normal?

Hey i just had a medical abortion with the pills at 7 weeks. One at the clinic and 8 pills of mistro and whatever that other one that starts with an M. Anyways i bled heavily and cramped mildly. I did see the fetus come out. And then eventually my mucus plug came out too. But my pregnancy symptoms dissolved with in a couple days and i was normal. Well yesterday night and today, my pregnancy symptoms came back. I feel pregnant again. I was on my chicken diet and i found myself puking it out and gagging. Then the strong sensitive smell came back too. Eventually, my food aversion is also back. And so are my horomones. I heard pregnancy horomones take a little bit longer to dissolve. So that’s understandable, but im a week into post abortion now. I didn’t know i was 7 weeks when i went into the clinic because everytime i wanted to go get checked, they’d push the date. Was the lady supposed to tell me at the clinic if i had twins or no? I also never got to see any of my ultrasounds either. So I wouldn’t know. But i need to know if this is normal. I started drinking again and smoking to cope cause im tired of crying and being depressed and talking about it isn’t going to change anything. Also the mans left me the day after my abortion. So everything has been stressful to me. Please lmk your thoughts! Thank you! 🫶🏼

explanation when i found out i was pregnant, i was at the hospital and the sonogram they did, didnt show anything on the scan at all, cause i was too early. After that I’ve booked several doctor visit but they kept pushing the date or so. So i never got a rescan. I just know they estimated me to be 8 weeks and that was it. (But i was actually really 7 weeks.) I lost 6 pounds or a lil more cause my baby didn’t crave anything at all, and didn’t want to eat anything due to smell or whatever. So most days i barely ate. I took my vitamins though. And when i went to the clinic for abortion, they did an ultrasound and i was 7 weeks prego. But I didn’t get to see the ultrasound then either. So were they supposed to tell me if i did or didnt have twins? Cause my symptoms are back and im scared.

It doesn't necessarily mean you had twins. It could mean you have retained products. Can you contact the clinic again and say you're still having strong symptoms? I remember still feeling nauseous 1-2 weeks after the termination. You sound like you're really worried please don't be everything will be okay. Just make sure you keep ringing the clinic so that they could get you in perhaps. Are you still bleeding?

Yes. Im still bleeding. I used a tampon last night when i went out and i ended up clotting a decent size later when pulled out of me. My bleeding is like of a normal period. Light but enough to have an inch wide on the pad. I didnt have any pregnancy symptoms of being nauseous at all during my short lived pregnancy. I don’t get nauseous. I just have food and smell aversions. My boobs arent firm anymore or sore either.

Try using a pad so that there less chance of an infection. I was told not to use tampons for fear of getting an infection. I'd say still contact the clinic and speak to someone for piece of mind. Hopefully the more you bleed the less pregnancy symptoms you will have as all your hormones go back to normal.

Ive been wearing pads. But i just used a tampon for the night cause i went out with my friends. The clinic told me its okay to use a tampon whenever im ready because I didn’t do a surgical abortion, i took the pill. Yeah I’ll have to call them tmmrw
