Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:
1) You must undergo medical abortion under the guidance of gynecologist, which will be helpful in emergency situation. Don't take those medicine by yourself without doctor's prescription.
2) By procedure, at first, you need to take Tab Mifepristone or Mifegest 200mg (ideally 600mg) on D1, after 48 hrs take 2 Tab Misoprostol 200mg in the morning and other 2 tabs need to insert inside vagina by doctor.
3) You may need double dose sometimes if proper bleeding DOESN'T start within 72 hrs. Soon after taking Tab Misoprostol, abdominal cramp and vaginal bleeding start within 7 days and next period may be earlier/delayed.
4) Post pill abortion, you must do a USG lower abdomen to check retained bits/ conceptional products if any and may need D &C to complete abortion.
5) Practice safe sex by using safe period/OCP/ other methods to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
Be well. Good luck.

Dear Ashwini,
If your pregnancy test has confirmed pregnancy and this is unwanted pregnancy, you may think of medical termination of pregnancy.
Tab. Mifepristone followed after 24-48 hours by Tab. Misoprostol can terminate the pregnancy. However, these are prescription medicines. Take the medicines in prescribed doses and by appropriate routes of administration.
These medicines are teratogenic and hence cause developmental abnormalities in baby; hence in case of the failure of these medicines, the pregnancy should be terminated by surgical procedure like MVA aspiration.
It is advisable to confirm the completion of abortion by ultrasonography to avoid excessive prolonged bleeding.
Though WHO recommends these medicine for termination of pregnancy up to 9 weeks of gestation, in India, legally this method is valid only up to 7 weeks of pregnancy.
I hope this helps you.
