Hello!
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
A complete abortion means that the body has expelled all the products of pregnancy (blood, tissue, embryo) and there is no need for surgery (vacuum aspiration) afterwards.The only way to make sure that you've had a complete abortion is to have an ultrasound 10 days after using the medicines. You should not have extreme pain, prolonged heavy bleeding, or fever. All women who have successful medical abortions experience vaginal bleeding for 1 to 3 weeks.
Hope iI was of help!
Best Regards.
