Light bleeding after medical abortion….help..

Looking for some advice..
sadly after a lot of confusing mixed thoughts for weeks I finally made the sad decision to terminate. This would have been our 3rd baby. I inserted the 4 tablets yesterday and started bleeding after 1 hour.. about 1 hour and a half in a big clot come away.. I didn’t have any other big clots then just this 1 I could see as (sorry tmi) the toilet was just blood and couldn’t see down. So after this one big clot the bleeding slowed down but I wasn’t sure it if was the pregnancy that passed and assumed it was the big clotting starting, that’s what I’ve seen from what others have said. So I continued and took the last tablets orally. I had minor cramps after the last tablets and the bleeding didn’t pick up. It seemed to have slowed completely from the 1 big clot that passed. Ever since I’ve had bleeding but very minor not enough to leak through. I was wondering if anyone else had this experience? I read from others that they have excruciating pain heavy heavy bleeding and was awful. I prepared for the worst but for some reason i didn’t have not even 1 pain. The fact I only had 1 big clot and the rest was small would that have been the pregnancy? I’ve been absolutely fine today I feel completely back to how I felt before I was pregnant. I’m also worried about the minor bleeding…
thankyou x

(also I would like to add before the clot passed I had pressure as if I was about to come on my period but once the clot had passed it went)

Hey
I had my misoprostol on Wednesday(yesterday )and experienced cramps that wasn’t that intense, nausea diarrhea and chills. 6 hours after my 3rd dose, I had slight bleeding and since then not had any more bleeding or any clots or heavy bleeding till today. I still have on and off cramps though.

Does this mean that I haven’t passed all the tissue and may need to administer more pills?need your advice

I'm currently here because I'm nervous
I took the abortion pills
It was administered by a nurse
The issue is that I had very light bleeding and light clots(three light clots to be exact)
It has been less than 24 hours after the pills and my bleeding is paused
I'm trying to understand if there's something I should do

Did it work?

I took abortion pills Friday at 2pm, started bleeding exactly 4hours later. Heavy bleeding that last around 4-5 hours passed large and small clots in this time and it was more comfortable to be sitting on the toilet for long durations during these hours too. Yesterday and today I’ve had mild cramps/tummy pain mainly located centrally.
but also very minimal bleeding more like spotting all day yesterday and the same today. I was only 4weeks when I started the abortion process
I’ve read you should bleed for a few days afterwards but I just haven’t?
my provider says I need to call them if I don’t have any more heavy bleeding by Wednesday but I wondered if anyone else has had similar experiences where after the main bout of bleeding you then had next to no bleeding/spotting and then your abortion being successful?
sorry for the long post I am just wanting to get some advice and hear some positive experiences thank you all in advance!

Pls help. It's been 24 hrs since i took misoprostol (2 sublingual and 3 vaginal) and I only bleed lightly, it only comes out when I pee. What is happening? And I'm 8 weeks pregnant.

Hey, I would call your provider lovely and seek advice from them. If you’ve had no heavy bleeding and it’s been over 24 hours

Leximatthews2025 · 17/10/2025 01:56

Hi yesterday i took the Final stage of the abortion pills and about an hour and half later I passed 2 clots but I havent had much bleeding since I'm not bleeding onto the pad but when I wipe its a very light pink colour on the tissue but there's not alot of blood im really scared and worried that the abortion hasn't worked what shell I do please can anyone give me any advice at all

A1C4 · 17/10/2025 07:00

Hey lovely, If you haven’t had any heavy bleeding and it’s been 24 hours I would call your provider
with me it took 6 hours for the heavy bleeding to start and then I was bleeding for around the same sort of time but I was on the toilet for a lot of it so in terms of knowing exactly how heavy it was hard. But when I phoned they were so supportive and informative
