Hi & Welcome.

It is not safe to terminate pregnancy without consulting a gynecologist.
Self medications to abort may cause serious vaginal bleeding and cramps which can not be managed at home.

Consult gynecologist & get the ultrasound done to find out the duration of pregnancy and its location.

By doing ultrasound scanning intrauterine pregnancy can be confirmed and gestational age can be estimated.
Then accordingly the gynecologist will advice the method of abortion.
Medical termination (abortion) is possible till 7 to 8 weeks of pregnancy.

If the gestational sac is found outside the uterine cavity like in fallopian tube or Ectopic pregnancy, taking these medications can be more harmful and dangerous.

So in view of the explanation given above, you are once again advised to seek a gynecologist's consultation.

Hope to have answered your query.
I find this answer helpful
