Brief Answer:
wait for misoprostol intake

Detailed Answer:
Hhello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Bleeding occurs only in 20-25% of patients after only mifegest intake.
Usually bleeding basically occurs after misoprostol intake and then complete abortion occurs so in case she hasn't bled so far wait for the rest of pill intake then complete abortion occurs after 24-72 hours.
All the best

Brief Answer:
ultrasound after 15 days

Detailed Answer:
Yes dear, the dose and pattern of intake is correct.
And most probably the abortion is complete but to be sure it is a usual practice to get an ultrasound 15 days after abortion.
Empty uterine cavity makes it confirmatory.
