Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Usually its not normal to have bleeding for so long periods of time.
If you had done abortion at home with tablets, it could be a possibility that the abortion is not completed and some bits of the products of conception might still be retained in side the uterus.
I strongly recommend you to consult your gynecologist for internal examination and to get done dilation and curretage to remove all the bits.
I hope I have answered your query well.
Thank you
