How long do you bleed after taking Misoprostol?

You might experience light, moderate, or heavy bleeding. Some people pass clots, these can vary in size but should not be larger than a lemon. Once the pregnancy passes, the bleeding should start to ease. Light bleeding or spotting can continue for up to two weeks and occasionally until your next period.
