What are possible risks and complications?

• Hemorrhage - Uterine contractions are responsible
  for controlling the discharge of blood by
  squeezing the blood vessels.
• Infection - An infection is caused when contents
  of pregnancy are left over in the uterus. A
  curettage or suction procedure might be required
  to treat it.
• An incomplete abortion- the fetus becomes
  unviable, some tissues remain in the uterus and
  are not flushed out. This further leads to an
  infection.

When will I start bleeding?
Abortion Process

• Most women start bleeding only after the second
  pill. This is because the secondary drug is what
  initiates the expulsion of pregnancy contents.
• However, in rare cases, women might experience no
  bleeding at all. This happens because pregnancy
  is completely terminated after the first pill
  itself.
