Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You should not take tablets for abortion without consulting the gynecologist.
You better consult your nearby gynecologist and get examined.
You also need one ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy, to estimate the gestational age and to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
After that with your doctor's advice you can take the pills.
Usually the tablets will be available in the attached pharmacy to the clinic.
Try to use some regular method contraception to avoid these problems in future.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.
