Brief Answer:
mild irregular bleeding can be persistent.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The mild reddish fluid that is continuing is due to the side effect of the unwanted kit. The next period will be expected around 18th XXXXXXX
If this irregular bleeding continues then it is best to confirm the completeness of abortion with ultrasound scan. Hormonal tablets may be needed to stop this mild bleeding.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer:
Hormonal treatment needed to stop bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The abortion is complete if no retained products were detected in the uterine cavity. To stop the mild bleeding hormonal tablets like norethisterone or combined oral pills will be helpful.
You can get these prescribed after consulting her gynecologist.
The chances of getting pregnant again are present if you indulge in unprotected intercourse.
The faint test line on urine test is due to receding levels of hormone HCG. This line will gradually disappear in next 2 weeks.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
