Hi & Welcome.

Regestrone is NOT effective for abortion & it will not stop your pregnancy.

It is just a progesterone (hormone) containing pill which is basically used to regularize the irregular menses or to postpone or prepone the periods.
It does not cause abortion AND if pregnancy is suspected or continued after its consumption, then chances of congenital malformations in the growing fetus would be high.

You are advised to consult a gynecologist to take the pills containing Mifepristone & Misoprostol under her supervision if you are within 7 weeks of pregnancy and the pregnancy should not be ectopic.

Hope to have answered your query.
