Failed Abortion- Continued pregnancy after finding out..

Hi , I have came across this page after having a disappointing conversion with a doctor ( who deals with abortions), looking everywhere for the answer to my question and by the looks off things I am not the only one. Although it very tuff to have to go through this I am glad the honesty I see , The male doctor that scan myself to conform that the pregnancy is continuing.. conformed that although 3+weeks ago I decided to go though with an abortion at home.. 1 tablet then 48hr later 4 inserted and later on that day 4 oral (personal at this moment I'm not sure if I did in fact take the oral one my brain is mush).. after these I experience an upsetting loss of blood which brought the guilt on really hard, but I did accept that I made the decision. 3 weeks later I took the test that was given but came back invalid so took myself to asda and bought a clear blue ( week test ) came back positive 3+ with this information I contact and spoke with some staff regarding this and I got booked in for a scan the next day as prior I thought I may have been further ahead on in the pregnancy so they wanted to confirm the dates. So first scan of this ''pregnancy' I went to the gynaecologist and had a scan done coming back an active pregnancy at 8 weeks, asking what my next step was , straight away I said I would like to continue my pregnancy , personally the doctor was not amused or maybe confused.. couldn't answer any question I had just straight to the point that he has never came across this in his time at the hospital meaning ( a women going through with an abortion for it to fail then continue with it) which got me really upset and worried I followed on by asking on why I pasted so much blood in the first place for it not to off completed.. I never got a answer I left quite upset , the 2 nurses at the front desk stopped me and spoke with me for 30 minute reassuring me , I'm so glad they did as I was a nerves reek. So I am booked in @ a maternity hospital in 2 weeks for a 10 weeks scan, to confirm that the heart beat is there( as he said it not shown until then...) I'm happy but really hating on myself for the fact I may have harmed a health child. I don't believe anyone has the answers for each person experience as all are complete different I think after reading and taking in everyone's situation my question has changed to. After finding out that you are still pregnant , and changing you mind to continue with that, did you receive support? knowledge? and help understanding the what ifs etc.. My apologies if this wasn't the best on explaining something, I would apricate any type of response, but if not I send my love to all you strong ladys Take Care X

This is such a beautiful vulnerable post,
right now I’m 11 weeks took 4 misoprostol tablets vaginally only. and went for a checkup there’s a heartbeat and everything looks good for now. I’m just scared if the pills I took will make it grow with some deformation.

How did u get on?

My pill abortion failed and see this post . I’m really struggling I must of only been a week and a half pregnant as I’m now 5.2 weeks and had abortion 3.5 weeks ago . But I really regretted it and I feel I can’t make my mind up to continue or not for reasons due to abnormalities. All that is showing is a yolk sack no heart beat . As all my symptoms did disappear but then come back . So I’m worried was starved of HCG or something so will have abnormalities. I don’t know how it works but I have come on here for some support :(

im going through something similar.. do you have any updates?

I had a healthy baby after failed abortion.. i found a website they was an american one they deal with situations like this all the time. I cannot remember the name but they also got me in contact with a doctor from my own country who was able to prescribe me suppositories to help thicken cervix. Wish you the best whatever you decide as i know its a difficult decission. Ive also had abortion that worked and was sad for awhile bit you will get through and this time will pass x
