Bleeding for maximum 15 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Abortion process starts within 2 days of taking misoprostol of the medical abortion. It continues for maximum 15 days.
Abortion is complete if the bleeding is like or just more than the periods for 7-10 days. Confirmation can be done by ultrasound.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
