Is Bleeding With Clots After Taking Abortion Pills Normal?

I am 38 years old. I took abortion pills on 12th and 14th for termination of pregnancy as I was 5 weeks pregnant. From 15th on wards bleeding started not heavy but like regular periods. Even now bleeding is there with clots. Is it fine? How long this will continue. Dark colours clots are there. Kindly advise. When will i know that complete termination has taken place.

Hallow Dear,

Your history says that you had successful termination of pregnancy after the abortion pills. I believe you had consumed Mifepristone followed by Misoprostol. The termination has taken place within stipulated time. Usually after 5 weeks of pregnancy, the bleeding of successful termination is just like or little more than normal menstruation.

If the clots you are observing are very few, small and dark red in colour, you need not worry. The white clot if at all you notice would be of the passage of products of conception.

The relation of clot to blood weight to volume is 1 gm = 3 ml of blood. Accordingly you can monitor amount of blood you have lost. If you feel it is alarming, please report to your Obstetrician.

After the complete termination, the bleeding usually stops. However, you can confirm the complete termination by ultrasonography. Urine pregnancy test takes some time, usually about a week to 10 days to become negative after complete abortion.

I hope you have got the relevant information.
