Q: Medical abortion and not much bleeding ?

Hello.
I am 23 and found out a while ago that I was pregnant. My doctor said I was early enough to do a medical abortion, which I thought was the best way to go because it is more private and you can be at home.
I went last wednesday for an ultrasound and to talk to the doctor. they confirmed that I was 5 weeks pregnant, and told me to come back the next day for the shots of methotrexate. 6 days after the methotrexate i was instructed to take 4 tablets of the misoprostol vaginally, and then another 4 the day after.
About 3 days after the methotrexate i started bleeding a bit. Yesterday (before i took the misoprostol tablets) I was bleeding a bit more.
After i took the first 4 misoprostol tablets, i bled heavily but there was no passing of tissue. I had mild to pretty bad cramps. The bleeding stopped late in the evening. This morning I took 4 more of the misoprostol tablets, and I have only light spotting, and some cramps.
From what I have read you are supposed to pass tissue.
Should I be worried about this?
I am worried that it has not worked or something.
Could it take a few days for more tissue to come out? Thank you Smile

Well they say it can take up to 3 weeks for the entire process to end. So yes it could take a few more days.

I had medical abortion 3 days ago.. But I only have very light bleeding as of now.. I even noticed that I have white discharge.. Like what I used to have before I took the misoprostol.. Does that mean the medical abortion failed? I did bleed heavily after 6 hours of taking the first set of misprostol.. But NO blood clots at all. I'm slightly anemic.. Did that affect my bleeding?

Girlfriends feriods after a medical abortion
My girlfriend had a medical abortion 2 months ago. after 28 days she had her period and was really heavy. now she is on her period(or what seems to be) but only bleeding a tiny bit and spaced out throghout the day. could she be pregnant again? we have been extra safe this time, checked condoms after sex etc, but there is still this thought in both of our heads that she might be pregnant again. The abortion went completely fine and she was happy to be on, but then it stopped and she worried. she started again but only a little bit again. can anyone help? is this just her body getting back to normal or is she mabey pregnant again?? Jamie
