Answer
Dear Amii,
It sounds like your experience with the abortion pill (mifepristone, misoprostol) is successful.  You took both the Mifepristone and Misoprostol at the correct time and dose, and you have had heavy bleeding.  If your bleeding was heavier than a period, more than likely it was successful.  

You can confirm that the pregnancy is over by: a decrease in pregnancy symptoms (if you had symptoms), a follow up blood test or ultrasound.  A urine pregnancy test is usually not helpful to determine if the abortion pill was successful -it can take weeks for it to turn negative.

The abortion pill is completely safe for future pregnancies.  You should have no difficulty getting pregnant when you want to.  There are no long term side effects of taking the abortion pill.

I hope this is reassuring and helpful,
