I live in a country where these are illegal, and I would like to do a follow up with my Gyn just to make sure everything is okay. But I'm not sure if they will do any kind of test. I just wanted to make sure. thanks!

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
The best follow up visit is to have a pelvic transvaginal ultrasound scan done.
That will confirm that the uterus is empty and there is nothing inside.
No blood test can detect these substances, only if your doctor sees something inside the uterus on ultrasound, she may suspect that you had an abortion.
If you do not disclose the details, it can be assumed that you had a natural abortion.
Take care, hope my answer clarifies things.

I did told them I had a miscarriage and that I wanted to follow up to checked everything is alright. but I was afraid they wanted to find out the cause of my miscarriage and do blood test to find out.
My follow up visit it will be a week after I took both medications.

Detailed Answer:
Ideally it should be 15 days after taking the medication.
THey MIGHT run tests to know the cause of the miscarriage, but only if you insist, but in no way, through any blood test, would they know that you took those medications unless you tell them straight out.
