Hello,
It is probably due to intrauterine retained bits of conception that is incompletely evacuated by medication.
Therefore, post pill abortion, one USG scan for lower abdomen is essential to check retained bits if any and may need to proceed D &C (surgical method) to complete the abortion. Consult with your doctor regarding this.
Practice safe sex by using safe period/OCP/Condom etc to avoid unwanted pregnancy & unnecessary vaginal bleeding. Be well.
