Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion first number of weeks of pregnancy should be ascertained.
Because the medical termination of pregnancy is possible upto 6-7 weeks of pregnancy.
Anything after that should be terminated by surgical methods like D&C.
And I suggest you to take them only under medical supervision as they are associated with complications like heavy bleeding,incomplete abortion etc.
So I would like you to consult doctor for further course of action.
Hope this helps.
Best regards....Dr.Srilatha

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Dosage and the method of taking misoprostol and mifepristone (prescription of gynecologist is required) should be guided and supervised by gynecologist.
Do not try at home by self as it causes serious complications. Yes mifty kit is safe for medical termination of intrauterine pregnancy up to 63 days of pregnancy if done under the proper guidance of gynecologist after transvaginal USG. Procedure is below: Take mifepristone 200 mg orally followed by two tablet misoprostol 200 mcg vaginally or orally after 48 hours,another two tablet of misoprostol after 6 hour should be put high in vagina under the supervision of gynecologist. Extra dose may be needed in case of no bleeding. Normally in uncomplicated case bleeding will start in with in 1-2 hour after last dose of pill. Consult the doctor as early as possible if you have: excessive and prolonged bleeding after 7 days, severe abdominal cramps, foul vaginal discharge, fever. Post abortion USG after 14 days to confirm the completeness of abortion process. Proper rest, healthy diet, analgesic tablet, use safe sex practice in future.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
