Brief Answer:
The chances of pregnancy are there.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Usually with medical abortion after taking pills heavy bleeding for short period may occurred but depends upon size of pregnancy.
In your case if you are not bleeding properly,you have to go for repeat ultrasound to see whether uterus is empty or not.
If you are having symptoms of pregnancy at present you have to go for ultrasound to rule out pregnancy, it maybe due to previous pregnancy or it could be new one.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
