Does Having Bleeding After Taking Misoprostol Indicates Abortion Is Completed?

I found out I was 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant yesterday. Took misoprostol, inserted two and swallowed one. Had severe cramps and bleeding(expelled some clots) four hours later, lasted through the night, could barely sleep. Woke up this morning with barely noticeable cramps and mild spotting. Is abortion complete? Can I get an ultrasound tomorrow to verify?
