Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Vaginal bleeding after 8 week is not normal.
Generally bleeding may remain up to 7 days after abortion.
There may be possibility of ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy and incomplete abortion
You should consult the gynecologist and get the following tests:
Pelvic examination, USG to confirm the above causes.
Ectopic pregnancy can be managed by surgery and blood transfusions
Incomplete abortion by surgical procedure

Hope this may help you
Best regards
