I had a medical abortion about 11 days ago

I had a medical abortion about 11 days ago...had severe cramping and bled heavily for day one and two but slowed down and bled normal for 8 days..blood clots came out..is there a possibility that I'm still pregnant?

Editor's Comment

Your abortion provider would normally follow you up to check that the abortion is complete. It is possible for a medical abortion to fail and if you have concerns I would advise you to see your GP. You can also check yourself with a pregnancy test after 3 weeks when the pregnancy hormone would normally have left your system, and it would register negative. If you would like to talk to a trained practitioner further please log into the Online advisor from the website, or call the national helpline 0300 4000 999. for post abortion support.

I became pregnant after one time sleeping with him I recently had a medical abortion. I was 12 weeks pregnant. Surgical abortion. The man who had got me pregnant was very abusive 7 weeks pregnant and I swing from terror to moderate happiness 4 weeks pregnant, he's over the moon, I'm confused I am 36, and have two children ages 5 1/2 and almost 8. I found out 4 weeks ago that I am pregnant. That baby's still on my mind 5 years after a medical termination I was pregnant and it was unplanned. I was booked for the medical abortion.

I was 15 when I became pregnant.
