What Causes Vaginal Bleeding And Headaches After Taking Misoprostol?

Hi Doctor. ..I had a Misoprostol pill abortion due to the fact that I had a 10cm fibroid that couldn t allow me do surgical abortion. I finished the prescribed dose on 12th. I have been bleeding since I started medication from severe to low. An FBP was done before abortion and my hemoglobin was as low as 6.0, I was given a syrup and folic capsules which am taking. My worry am feeling headache but not severe and still feeling nauseous! What could be the problem.
