Patient's question:
I took a medication abortion and the early pregnancy test showed negative. Can this indicate that I have completely miscarried? I hope that kind friends can help me solve this problem. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if the flow is clean, there will be no blood after about a week. However, for some individuals, it may take around ten days. To determine if the flow is clean, it is decided whether a D&C (dilation and curettage) is needed, and this decision is made at the hospital through an ultrasound. Usually, it is easier for the flow to be clean within 49 days of pregnancy. In the hospital, observation is typically required for about 2 hours. A medication-induced miscarriage is considered clean when the gestational sac is expelled, which may result in a small amount of bleeding. As long as the gestational sac is expelled, it is considered clean.
