General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Abortion pills are very effective before nine weeks in general and so it's very possible that if your pregnancy was less than 9 weeks, the pregnancy came out. That explains why there was no bleeding after the second pill.
However, in rare instances, abortion pills (depending on the type) have failed to induce a complete abortion leading to very mild bleeding or severe bleeding. This could be troublesome in cases of ectopic pregnancy where abortion can not be induced.

Collection of blood in the vaginal can subsequently lead to foul discharges, especially if abundant and infected. Your case most likely could be accumulated blood in the vagina.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
