Based on what you described, it’s not possible to confirm that the abortion is complete just from bleeding pattern. Taking misoprostol alone can work in early pregnancy, and heavy bleeding for 24 hours followed by spotting can be normal. but sometimes tissue may still remain.
👉 The only way to be sure is:
- Ultrasound after 7–14 days, or
- Repeat pregnancy test after ~2 weeks
