Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.

Bleeding following MTPill is a common problem.
Heavy bleeding is seen usually for 4-5 days followed by spotting for another week.
Bleeding should completely stop by 15 days.
Most common cause of bleeding after MTPill is incomplete evacuation.
When did you take MTpill?

Waiting for your reply,
regards,
Dr Nilofer

Hello,
Thanks for the follow up query.

Good that bleeding has started. Bleeding will stop in another day or two when products of conception are completely evacuated.
There is nothing to worry about.
If there is heavy bleeding, you need to consult your Gynecologist.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
