Brief Answer:
It could be due to incomplete abortion.
Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for approaching HCM.
I can understand your concern for the prolonged vaginal bleeding following the use of MTP pills.
Normally the bleeding following the use of MTP pills should stop by 7 days.
Prolonged heavy bleeding may be a sign of incomplete abortion or other complications. Hence, I would advise you to consult a gynecologist immediately. An urgent pelvic ultrasound is required to check the to check the retained bits or placental tissue (if any).
A curettage procedure by surgical scraping and scooping to the lining of the uterus may be required to stop heavy bleeding and you may require blood transfusion if the blood loss is found to be severe causing anemia.
Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care yourself.
