Hello dear,
Generally after 30 min taking misoprostol, bleeding and cramping will occur.
It is because of uterine contraction that pull out the implantation product and abortion will take place.
Its success rate is 92-97%.
If no more bleeding occur, repeat your HCG test.
Or you can do USG at gynecologist to check the retain product of conception.

Spotting and cramping common after misoprostol

Hope this may help you.

Wish you good health.
Take care
