Hello,
Thank you for posting a query here.
Look, you have taken the medicines in wrong way. The misoprostol should have to be taken intravaginally. From your description, I think, you have taken it orally. When misoprostol taken orally it has less effectiveness. It requires intravaginal route because that enhances the uterine contraction and induce the abortion immediately.
But, now, it is already late, and you have an episode of failed abortion. That means, in this situation, you have nothing to do by taking any more medicine. Because, if you again try to abort by taking mifepristone, you may experience the side effects of this method like huge bleeding and incomplete abortion.
So, you have to consult with a gynecologist for manual dilation and evacuation. I can understand your problem. But this situation did not occur if you have consulted a doctor before taking the drugs.
Hope this information suffices. Let me know, if you have any more question.
Regards.
