Brief Answer:
Normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety about the issue
It is normal to have minimal bleeding in your case as it was too early a gestation.
Nothing to worry.

The doctor said the gestational sack was tiny. She did an internal ultrasound before the procedure and saw the sac. After the procedure she did another internal ultrasound and my uterus was clear. They said they saw the sac under the special glass they use. I'm just so worried about something being left in there. They showed me the tissue and fluid. Just want this to be over with.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
I know the amount of anxiety involved dear but there is nothing to worry as ultrasound is quite confirmatory.
So less bleeding is just because of small sac and early gestation.
Juat relax and take it lightly now.

Thank you. I only had cramping for about 10 minutes after the procedure and none since then. I just thought I would be bleeding for days.

Everyone has a different response.
Some patients bleed a lot after abortion and some don't bleed even after normal delivery of a term baby.
If there is no pain or excess of bleeding then nothin to worry.
