I understand your concern and will do what I can to answer your question.
Mefiprestone is about 60% effective in triggering a medical abortion when used alone. Using mefiprestone with misoprostol increases the effectiveness to about 95%. Many doctors try MTPill alone and then MTPill plus Misoprostol if MTPill doesn't work. Call and let them know and they can advise you on the correct dose and timing of the next step.
Best of luck
