Brief Answer:
It is better to take these pills under supervision of gynecologist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

It is life threatening to try and abort the pregnancy on your own.
It is essential to have the pregnancy confirmed by a gynecologist .
It must be exactly dated too.

Next, medical abortion pills are to be taken as per prescription and correct schedule that your doctor explains to you.

I can explain the general protocol to you, but again, taking them without consulting a doctor is not just illegal, but potentially life threatening.

Generally, 1 tablet of Mifepristone is taken orally.
24 hours later, 2 tablets of 200 mcg Cytotec are taken orally or vaginally followed by 2 more such tablets another 24 hours later.
After this procedure, bleeding and cramping might start within 24 - 48 hours, and continue for up to 2 - 3 weeks.

It is also vital to have a follow up ultrasound scan to check that the abortion pills worked and the uterus is empty, after 15 days of taking the tablets.

Failing to take these precautions , there are risks such as - infection, uncontrolled bleeding, retained products, undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy etc.
And if these steps are followed, the pills work in more than 95 % of cases.

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Do take all the tablets.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
You must take rest of the two tablets so that you have a complete abortion. The chances of abdominal cramps, heavy bleeding and retained products is still there.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
