Brief Answer: Yes Detailed Answer: Hi, I read your query and I understand your concerns. Following is my reply: 1) Still there is time for more bleeding. Hence you can wait for another day for bleeding. 2) Hope you have got ultrasound scanning done to see location of pregnancy as it can be life threatening if ectopic pregnancy is there. 3) It is advisable to get an ultrasound scan done and take remaining medicines as per prescription. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Regards, Dr. Mahesh Koregol
