After taking medication for an abortion, if there is no bleeding for 4 or 5 days but there is slightly bloody discharge, is that normal?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: After taking medication for an abortion, there was no bleeding for 4 or 5 days, but the discharge is slightly pink. Is this abnormal?
Duration of the current illness: Since the bleeding stopped, it has been going on for less than half a month.

Doctor's answer:

The medication abortion must be performed within 49 days of pregnancy. Medication abortion avoids the pain of surgical abortion, which is also the difference between medication abortion and surgical abortion. However, there are also some disadvantages. Medication abortion may not be completely effective, meaning it is possible that the embryo cannot be expelled in one go, leading to residual tissue. This would require a second procedure to clear the uterus.
