Can I still be pregnant after taking mifepristone?

I am 39 and 7 weeks pregnant.  My partner does not want this baby and has put incredible pressure on me to abort to the point of threatening me. I took mifepristone 5 days ago and started bleeding heavy 24 hours later...I did not take the follow up misoprostol pills as I started having second thoughts about aborting when I bled. For about 6 hours i had severe cramping where I passed large blood clots, the bleeding and blood clots lasted for two days.  5 days later I am still bleeding,  lighter though!  My breast are still tender although not as much and a hcg blood test came back as high but didn't say the count.  Could I still be pregnant? does hcg stay high and show up positive 5 days after miscarriage and if my baby is still alive will it be deformed after mifepristone.  I am so worried, has anyone gone through this before?

Same here...I didn't realize it until after I posted the first one that this was three yrs ago...n actually laughed at the fact I even commented on it. Probably should have put an lol behind the exclamation mark so it wouldn't be taken as attitude though like it was taken.

Ladies, I read it that way the first time too, but what she is saying was that she was 39 as in 39 years old and she was 7 weeks pregnant. You can't be 39+7weeks because that automatically makes you 40weeks on the dot. She was only 7 weeks at the time.

Who are you? Hell she clearly put that she 39w7d so how wasn't she full term? She probably wrote it wrong but I've read it over and over and it still says the same thing that she basically wanted to abort it at  39wks and I agree with @madalynnej

@madalynnej She did not wait until she was full term...if you read again its says she is 39 and she is 7 weeks pregnant. N for you to sit there and judge the relationship she's in was not the reason she posted this question. I'm pretty sure you have been in at least one relationship you have regretted for your own reasons

Why would you ever EVER be with someone who makes you choose such irresponsible choices. Waiting till you're full term to have an abortion is disgusting. You should of decided what to do a long time ago.

Hi Suzie could u tell me if your baby survived this one pill as I have did the same. My ex partner is Muslim and was not allowed to be involved with me for religious reasons. I had my first pill yesterday (27 hours ago) but I've had no bleeding or any other side effects. I really regret what vid did no man is worth your child.

It's highly doubtful the pregnancy will be viable after this point. You need an ultrasound to see what's going on, and you might also need a D&C if there's any remaining tissue. I would definitely rethink the relationship you're in, and if this is someone you want to be with. Nobody that's worth a damn or cares about you would make you choose something like that.

I think really only a doctor can tell you and you should follow up with one. I've heard that if the "pill aboortion" doesn't work they highly suggest a DNC due to the baby not being as likely to be healthy. Also sounds like you passed what you need too. I've had 3 miscarriages and I bled for about a week and you can definatly tell your passing stuff rather than just bleeding and you will have heavy cramps from it but I suggest going to a doctor.
