Probably: This type of treatment requires close follow-up. If any doubt, then your hCG can be tested (blood) every week until it gets to 0. If persistently elevated you may need new treatment.

I have very little/slight/minor bleeding even after 24 hours since using 800mcg misoprostol vaginally. Does it mean that the abortion failed because I didn't pass out large clots, just minor bleeding that can't even fill a pantliner?
