Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Firstly, the treatment or medical abortion should not be taken without consulting a gynecologist.
Was the pregnancy confirmed and dated by a doctor, because the pills work within a narrow time frame ?
Secondly, correct dosage of Mifepristone and Misoprostol has to be taken - when did you take the 1st pill and the next 4 pills ?
Generally, bleeding with cramps should ensue within 24 - 48 hours.
If you took them by yourself without seeing a doctor, there are possible risks such as bleeding, infection, retained products of conception, incomplete abortion, undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy etc.
Also, to know if the pills worked, a follow up ultrasound scan after 15 days is mandatory.
Please write back with more details.
All the best
