Severe Bleeding After Taking Cytotec. Swollen Abdomen. Was That An Abortion?

i took cytotec yesterday, i bleeded profusely with blood clots. Today also I took 2 tablets. In all, I took 10 tablets and only first day when I took 8 tablets I bleeded lots. The two tablets which I took today, I bleed normal as if I am having menses. Now I have noticed that my belly has swollen a bit and the blood also not so much, so do u think its normal and the abortion has taken place?

Hi welcome to Healthc are magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You took cytotec yesterday, there is profuse bleeding, today also you took 2 tablets, and had normal bleeding. Now you feel that your belly has swollen, and bleeding has come down.
It appears that every thing has happened as it should be . the abotion is complete.
The swollen abdomen could be due to the gastric irritation due to the cytotec tablets.
It will go away in few days , if you feel it is not bearable, you can use medicines like PPI, etc.
Here could be possibility of increase in gastric irritation, or infection,if they occur and unbearable consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing that every thing is fine.
Best regards.
