It is quite common to experience some spotting or light bleeding even after the main period of bleeding following an abortion pill. After taking the medication, most bleeding usually occurs for 5–7 days, but the uterus may continue to shed some tissue or adjust hormonally for a couple of weeks afterward.

Spotting that appears now, almost a week after your bleeding stopped, is usually normal and may just be your body completing the process. However, it is important to watch for certain warning signs, such as heavy bleeding soaking more than two pads per hour, severe abdominal pain, fever, foul-smelling discharge, or feeling generally unwell.

If any of these occur, or if the spotting persists for more than a few days, it is best to consult a healthcare provider to ensure there is no retained tissue or infection. Meanwhile, maintain good hygiene, rest, and avoid inserting anything into the vagina until your next check-up.

A follow-up visit or an ultrasound can reassure you that everything is healing normally.
