Brief Answer:
Abortion pills ( mifepristone ) should always be taken under supervision.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us about it.
I can understand your concern here.
As such abortion pills (mifepristone and mesoprostol) should always be taken under supervision of a doctor or an expert because sometimes it may cause severe bleeding, infection and retained product of conception.
You should not worry about bleeding and pain it will resolve in 4-5 days, sometimes bleeding continues for 7-10 days.
I believe you had a mesoprostol tablet as advice before? Because mesoprostol expel the product of conception from the womb and when product are expel your bleeding become minimum.
You should go for ultrasound pelvis after 10 days of taking abortion pills to rule out that there is no retained product of conception.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
Mesoprostol should be taken 48 hrs. after mifepristone.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Nice to hear from you once again.
Mesoprostol is usually given 48 hrs. after mifepristone and it expel all the product of conception from uterus and bleeding become minimal.
As in your case you did not take mesoprostol then there are chances of retained products are there.
But if all the products are expelled and bleeding is minimal than there is no need to worry.
But you have to go for ultrasound pelvis after 10 days of abortion pills to rule out that there is nothing left inside the uterus.
Hope it is useful.

Brief Answer:
Most probably there is no further problem.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As your bleeding is minimal on third day most probably there is no further problem.
But it all depend upon whether your products are completely out from uterus or not, which will be clear by ultrasound only.
Hope it is clear.
