How To Avoid Heavy Vaginal Bleeding Caused After A Medical Abortion?

Hi .I ve had a medical abortion two weeks ago. About three days ago, I started bleeding less. An indication I was almost through bleeding. Then suddenly I start bleeding heavily again like the first few days of the abortion. Is this normal and can I stop the bleeding with a vitamin k injection? Thank you. Eugenia, Ghana
