Hello dear
Understand your concern
Always take abortion pill under advise of gynecologist to prevent failure and complication. You had bleeding suggests abortion process is started. Bleeding just more than period with blood clots and tissue will occur. It will last maximum for 7 days.
Chance of incomplete abortion if bleeding will continue after 7 days.
Little bleeding after the 2nd and 3rd dose does that mean the abortion is not successful incomplete. Better confirmation should be done by USG scan after 14 days.
Take proper rest, healthy diet with iron supplements use contraception method to prevent abortion
Hope this may help you
Best regards
