A member asked:

Can light bleeding indicate an unsuccessful medical abortion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Medical ab: Dependent upon how far pregnant you were at the time of the medical intervention. Usually there is significant bleeding that occurs at the time of the miscarriage with a medical intervention. It doesn't always happen right away and sometimes patience is what is needed until things occur. Follow up visit in 2 weeks is very important.
