Does Reduced Vaginal Bleeding Post Medical Abortion Indicate Failed Miscarriage?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Abortion by medical means should be always done under supervision. It appears from your description that abortion might not be complete as it has happened just like periods. Generally, bleeding would be little more than periods as all the products of conception should be expelled out completely.
Kindly get an abdominal ultrasound scan done to know weather all the products of conception has been expelled or not.
Incomplete abortion should not be kept as it would lead to several complications which could be life threatening.
Kindly consult Gynecologist with report for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
