Dear Veena,
I believe you are from India.
In India, the legal limits for Termination of Pregnancy by medicines is 7 weeks, though WHO has recommended it up to 9 weeks.
There are two Options for medical termination of pregnancy:
1. Tab. Mifepristone followed within 24-48 hours by Tab. Misoprostol
2. Tab. Misoprostol alone every 3-12 hours up to 3 doses.
These medicines are prescription medicines and should be taken only by a Gynaecologist's advice and prescription.
These medicines cause developmental abnormalities in the baby; hence, if they fail to terminate the pregnancy, it should be terminated by some surgical method like MVA aspiration or so.
You are taking Misoprostol by Gynaecologist's advice, so you will take appropriate dose. You may take up to 3 doses of Misoprostol. If it does not work, you have got following options:
1. Repeat the medicines once again
2. OPt for Mifepristone + Misoprostol regime once
3. Go for surgical method.
I hope this clarifies your doubts.
