hello
Thanks for your query.
I hope the tablets for medical abortion were taken under medical guidance.
If the blood test is positive, you should have a repeat ultrasound to know the difference between an early pregnancy, pregnancy related complication like miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy etc.
Also, after taking Misoprostol, bleeding with clotting can occur anytime within 24 - 48 hours.
If you fail to bleed and expel the tissue within that time frame, go for a repeat ultrasound to know if the uterine cavity is empty.
Take care.
