Hi, I have a question. I took an abortion pill back in December of 2011 (last year) I was about 6 weeks pregnant so I was early. I took the abortion pill and everything went smooth. I felt the side effects very quick, bleeding and cramping. I was told that I was going to be bleeding for a bit. I felt like the abortion worked since I was bleeding and I just knew that my body wasn't feeling "pregnant". Ever since then I have been bleeding, NON STOP. There were times where I was bleeding and not bleeding for a couple of days. NOW, I'm not bleeding. I went to go to the doctors and told her about the situation, she mention that it was possible that I might need to get a D&C that maybe there's stuff left inside that hasn't been removed with the pill that is making me "still pregnant". I'm going to the doctors next week (obgyn). I took a urine test at my doctors & blood work too and she said that I was about 4 weeks pregnant. I haven't had sex since my abortion pill, so it's impossible that I got pregnant. So I'm thinking there is stuff still left inside of me. I need someone's help and advice

Listen to the doctor and get it done, the non stop bleeding and still being pregnant isn't good at all. Its not good for you or the baby, since the baby has probably been affected by the pills you took

Yeah but my question is how did I get pregnant again when in Dec I was 6 weeks pregnant but when I took the abortion pill I had the side effects bleeding cramps etc. but when I took my urine test and blood work is says I was 4 weeks. My doctor said it was possible that I may need a D&C. Is that possible, she mention that I might have stuff left inside that is making me still "pregnant"

I've taken the pill before and never heard of this happening, especially if you didn't have sex after the pill. You might have stuff leftover from the previous pregnancy that they have to clean out, but it doesn't make you 4 weeks pregnant again.

That's what I was saying. She made me do blood work & she said it puts me to that stage. I know when I'm pregnant I have kids and I'm not feeling anything. I mean she did mention that most likely you will need to have a D&C to get rid of the leftover stuff.
