Hello dear
Understand your concern
Bleeding after abortion pill is just more than period and depends upon pregnancy age. Mifepristone dose not cause bleeding as it cause just separation of implantation product from uterine wall. Misoprostol cause bleeding as it cause uterine contraction and expulsion of pregnancy.
Abortion should be used under observation to prevent complication and failure of abortion. USG should be required to confirm intrauterine pregnancy.
Follow up USG should be done after 14 days to confirm incomplete abortion.
In absence of pregnancy it cause no or mild bleeding with cramps.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
