Bleeding after taking mifepristone, which is often used in medical abortion, typically indicates that the medication is working to terminate the pregnancy. Mifepristone causes the lining of the uterus to break down, leading to bleeding. This can be followed by cramping and additional bleeding as the body expels the pregnancy. However, if the bleeding is excessively heavy or accompanied by severe pain, it is important to seek medical attention.
