Pregnant. Taken Abortion Pill Only Vaginally And Not Orally. Started Heavy Bleeding With Tissue Like Substance Along With Cramps. What Should I Do?

Hi!
It seems to be more clear for sure. My usual period date was 4th date
of month but this time things didn't happen as usual. On 5th November
I had a pregnancy test with test kit though intercourse happened on
15th October. I found my result positive. Here clinical abortion isn't
authorized so I had an abortion procedure with abortion pill Isovent
200mcg (Misoprostal BP). According to the pharmacist, I have to take 2
vaginally and one orally (400mcg vaginally and 200mcg orally). But I
didn't take the oral one. After using that, 8 hours later my period
started with heavy bleeding and it continued for 3 hours than it
slowed down. After that day my period wasn't going well cause there
was almost no blood then I contacted the pharmacist again and he told
me to recheck your pregnancy after three days, if the result comes
positive then use another 3 pills as directed. According to
suggestions, I tested and it came again positive. Then I used 3 more
pills (2 vaginally and one orally). This time my period happened well.
Usually my period last for 4 days but now when I am writing this 5th
day is on going. I am having pain and bleeding continues but not as
liquid as regular, there I found some tissue like thing. I took a
di-clofenac 50mcg for reducing my pain and took 3 Civite ( chewable
vitamin C tablet) cause I knew that Vitamin C can prevent excess blood
flow. Then my bleeding become liquid and slower than before but the
cramp of my lower part stays still. What should I do?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Sorry,you took advice from wrong person. Pharmacist is not the competent person to give advice.
Pregnancy test can be positive for some days even after abortion and it takes time to become negative.
You have taken excess dose of misoprostol tablets but your abortion seems to be complete.
Pain will also subside after some time.You can take analgesics like mefenamic acid tablets thrice daily.
Ultrasound of pelvis can be done for confirming complete abortion.
Get well soon.

Take Care
