It sounds very suspcious to me!! I would not be surprised if you were still pregnant before they gave you misoprostol and that was their way of getting the job done. And while it is unlikely that you are stil pregnant now i have read a couple of stories of women whose babies did survive their attempts at abortion. I would definately have it investigated. When you did the pregnancy test was the line faint or strong? Another idea would be to have a couple of quantitative HCG blood tests done to see if your levels were still rising. If thats the case i would think you were still pregnant or even possibly had an ectopic pregnancy.
Hypothetical question..If it turned out that your baby was still alive and well inside you after everything would you have another abortion or would you keep your baby?

I had my abortion done at the hospital not in a clinic...because its covered by medicare in the hospital. When i got the fever 3 days after the abortion i went back to the same hospital but in the emergency room. Its a really good hospital its the teaching hospital for mcgill university....anyways there is no appt available with my dr till september 11th...so thats not going to work. Im going to wait till monday so i can call his nurse and ask her what i should do. I dont want to go to a walk in clinic because they are just gonna send me to the hospital seeing as they dont have ultrasound stuff in the clnics thats in the hospital. I dont know what to do..my stomach looks pregnant....why??? is that normal after an abortion i cantfit in any of my clothes and its only my stomach nowhere else.

And in regards to the question if i would keep it if i was still pregnant. If i am still pregnant ..i dont know...probably not because of all the medication ive taken and i went to a wedding and i was drinking and smoking (just that night) i only did that cus i thought i wasnt pregnant anymore. If i get pregnant again no i wont have an abortion...but im still pregnant i just cant see that this child would be normal. But thats crazy there is no way im still pregnant. Its not the test that concerns me its my stomache that i look really pregnant. I hold it in most of the time so noone can see but if i let it go i look really pregnant!!

The line was faint at first on the test and you could hardley see it but then it got darker and darker..it says to read after 2 minutes but that plus line was there right away.. i took at 7:45 this morning.

Im under so much stress right now. I have the exibition show coming up.. (the "lets get married" show. Me and my patner have a booth for our business in the show and its in 2 weeks and we hav nothing ready so im stressed...and i dont fit in any clothes i mean am i just gaining weight or what! I had the abortion and ive accepted that so i just want it to be over and now im just unassured i dont know what the hell to do.

In the beginning of my pregnancy i was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick very bad!!! and as soon as i had the procedure it was gone the next day..my breasts are not sore anymore...im not even that tired anymore so i have no symptoms anymore just this growing stomach...im so confused..i hate being a woman sometimes lol anyways...what can i do!

Hi Jacqueline,

I have been reading your posts for the past couple of weeks but I haven't had a chance to post to you myself. I did some research on the internet about problems from medical abortions etc. What you experienced is rather common but very dangerous as well.

Usually after a abortion a pregnancy test will read positive for usually up to six weeks. Now, if there is still fetal tissue inside of the uterus that can also make a pregnancy test positive as well. The pregnancy hormone, "hCG," is made by the blastocyst and embryo and causes that part of the ovary that makes progesterone, necessary for the rich lining of the womb, to continue until the fetal tissue can make its own. So, if there is still hcg in your blood stream which there is because your having a positive test result then I would go to the doctor if the test still shows a positive after four weeks post abortion.

If you still feel bad, I would definitely go to the er again. Having a infection from a abortion can be very serious and even deadly. Also, a doctor would be able to give you a blood test to determine if you are pregnant which would be more accurate. A lot of times women have to have a second surgical abortion also known as D&C because the first abortion failed.

Here is a link to a website that talks about abortion risks: http://www.optionline.org/abortion.html .

Please continue to keep us updated! Your in my prayers.

God Bless,
