Had a medical abortion 2 months ago, first period after lasted 5 weeks. doc has taken swabs and an internal. but what is she looking for? i'm scared!

Check for left tissu: You may have some retained tissue from the pregnancy, so either a blood test and/or ultrasound would help with that. Not sure what the swab was for.
