Hello and welcome,

I understand your concern. However it is not advisable to take misoprostol for abortion unless a doctor has examined you and the pregnancy is confirmed to be inside the uterus. In a small number of women the pregnancy occurs in tubes and use of misoprostol in these is dangerous. The exact duration of pregnancy needs to be confirmed as the drugs act in a short frame. You are already 9 weeks which is the upper limit of the use of these drugs. They are not advocated after 63 days.

Also misoprostol is used with another drug mifepristone. If used alone it leads to incomplete abortion.

So please get a gynec examination and then use drugs under the guidance of your doctor after confirming the duration of pregnancy as well as its location. [Consult your elders and family for help if possible if the abortion is not legal in your place]. In a small percentage these drugs may cause an incomplete abortion and a surgical procedure may be eventually needed.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
