Brief Answer:
may stop by same day

Detailed Answer:
Bleeding can be very mild and stop a day itself (more likely) or she can bleed as she does in her periods and might take 3-4 days.
In any case don't be anxious related to pregnancy but from next cycle onwards start using protection or oral contraceptive pill pack.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
pregnancy test after fifteen days

Detailed Answer:
I understand your anxiety but just wait and watch the pattern of her periods.
In case she gets full flow then most probably she will get her periods around this time only.
But in case the flow is less then there are chances that she will get periods on her previous date itself.
This altered pattern of periods is common after ipill.
But in either case do a urine pregnancy test after 15 days from now to exclude pregnancy.
I know this pregnancy test thing must be sounding scary to you but there is no other way to exclude pregnancy other than this.
But main point is that chances of pregnancy are low because of the timing of intercourse (lack of ovulation immediately after periods).
In case you have any questions in future you can contact me directly on health care magic.
Take care

Brief Answer:
not safe to abort on your own

Detailed Answer:
Firstly I would like to suggest you that it is not safe to abort pregnancy yourself without consulting a gynecologist.
At most places MTP Pill is not an over the counter drug and is available only on prescription and it has a specific pattern of intake
Kit consists of one large tablet to be taken at once and then after 48 hours of that take the rest of the tablets In kit which are four in number.
After taking full kit, abortion occurs anytime between 6 hours to 5 days.
But in few patients there can be an incomplete abortion or excessive bleeding per vaginum and in that case you have to visit a gynecologist.
I hope I have answered your question but in case you have other questions I will be happy to help.
