Hi,
From your notes it appears that you did not abort completely on December 2.

The severe bleeding you had is most probably caused due to pregnancy remnants. You probably have passed the pregnancy remnants out along with blood clots. It is important to confirm that abortion process is complete. Therefore visit your doctor and get an ultrasound of uterus done.

If the abortion process is not complete, based on the size of the remnant, your doctor may allow for spontaneous expulsion, repeat medications or advise surgery (D&C).
I hope this helps.
