Brief Answer:
nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
It is common to have positive pregnancy test for 2-3 weeks after abortion and in case the bleeding has stopped then nothing to worry.
But in general it is good to get an ultrasound after 2 weeks of MTP pill intake in order to ensure complete abortion.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
No need to take pills

Detailed Answer:
Usually missed pills lead to incomplete abortion but now it is 8 days past pill intake so now in vase bleeding is just normal then will likely stop in 3-4 days most likely.
No need to take control pills and just wait for the bleeding to stop and in case it increases or continues for more than 7 days then get an ultrasound done.
Most probably she won't need another dose.
All the best

Yesterday I consulted two different gynecologist doctors for ultrasound test but I found strange thing in that. That is 1st Dr. wrote in his prescription ultrasound for obstetrics and 2nd Dr wrote in his prescription ultrasound for abdominal and pelvis. Please assist me which ultrasound is better?

After doing ultrasound test in case, test is positive then what step need to be done. Is there any tablets like MT pill that she could take and terminate the pregnancy. Kindly suggest me.

Thanks

Brief Answer:
Get obstetrics ultrasound done

Detailed Answer:
Get ultrasound obstetrics done to see for retained products of conception.
Ultrasound for abdomen and pelvis is also similar thing but will include abdominal organs also which is not needed.
In case retained products are found then it can be dealt with misoprostol tablets alone most likely.
Get the ultrasound done and then we can discuss further management.
