Hello,
It is unlikely that you could be pregnant with the medication you have been on. Under the present circumstances, the only way to get a clarity on the issue is to go for a trans-vaginal sonogram under the guidance of a specialist and get a serum beta-hCG titre done. The hormone levels should usually decline by now, had your abortion been successful. After a clinical evaluation and correlation, you may arrive at the need further treatment. Bleeding and cramping are side effects of the medication as it induces uterine contractions. Hope this helps.
