Hello and welcome,

I understand the issue. MT pills are effective until 49 days from the last period. If you are 25 days past it means that you are more than 49 days. Also the drugs are mifepristone and misoprostol in combination and misoprostol alone is not used. They are available only after prescription and after confirming that the pregnancy is less than 7 weeks and is inside the uterus [ not in tubes or elsewhere called ectopic pregnancy]. Also if they fail, there may be heavy bleeding and a surgical procedure may be needed in emergency. So pills must be taken after prescription by a certified doctor with a hospital available for emergency surgical procedure.

So unfortunately it is not advisable for you to take the tablets now. Some doctors do give an extended regimen till 9 weeks but it has a higher failure rate. So please do not use these pills without a doctors guidance. It will be safer to undergo a surgical procedure. It is done on a day care basis where the patient is discharged on the same day.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
