Is it normal to bleed the second day after taking medication for medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I previously used a pregnancy test and found out that I was pregnant, which made me very anxious because I hadn't married my boyfriend yet, and my workplace also doesn't allow pregnancy. Now, on the third day of taking medication for a medical abortion, is it normal for the lining to break? This morning, I noticed some blood in my underwear—is there a problem?

Doctor's answer:

During the medication abortion process, it is possible to experience bleeding again after starting to take the first dose of medication, or it may occur after taking all the medication. In either case, it is a normal phenomenon. If bleeding reappears on the third day of taking the medication, it is a normal sign and there is no need to worry. Just focus on taking the medication on schedule. Generally, the gestational sac is expelled within two hours after taking all the medication.
