Dear welcome to hcm and thanks for choosing us.

I share your concerns. Some irregularities in bleeding is common observation after abortion specially if done by hormone tablets. . Since you don't have massive bleeding, incomplete abortion should not be the case. However since Incomplete abortion (some components remained inside uterus) is a reason behind bleeding, we need to first rule out that. Get an ultrasound scan of uterus. If it comes normal and bleeding is scanty , no need to worry. It will regularise in few months.

However if you get massive bleeding, foul smelling, or see clots please visit a gynaecologist.

I hope my reply will benefit you. Take care of hygiene. Please write to hcm or me for follow up question. I wish you good health. Thanks
