Answer
Hi dear Kiran,

There is always bleeding after mifepristone. That does not mean that the treatment was successful ; one in twenty medical abortions
with mife doesn't work well
I think you'd better be patient for 24 hours more. Anyway do not take the misoprostol now.
Keep me informed !
good luck
