Hello
I appreciate your query.
After taking Misoprostol, bleeding normally occurs within a few hours, but may occur late also.
You already bled after taking Mifepristone.
So, please do not worry. It is okay for bleeding to start 24 hours after taking Misoprostol, bleeding generally lasts for a few days, but may continue in some cases for 2 or 3 weeks.
In order to check for completion of the medical abortion, you should be under medical guidance, and go for a follow up visit after 2 weeks to check if the uterine cavity is completely empty.
All the best.
