Brief Answer:
Confirm the pregnancy first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Delay in periods does not confirm that she is pregnant. You need to do a urine test to confirm that the delay in periods is due to pregnancy. After that get an ultrasound scan done to rule out any ectopic pregnancy.
Then if you want to terminate the pregnancy then take mifepristone tablet on day 1. Followed by misoprostal 2 tablets 12 hours later and then again 24 hours later. These can be taken orally. But it is best to take it under guidance of your gynecologist as it can cause excessive bleeding, incomplete abortion and other complications also.
You can take these upto 7 weeks pregnancy- nearly before 20 th April.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Any follow up queries are welcome.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Usually the pregnancy test comes positive after the periods are late by more than 5 days. The medicines you mentioned are for abortion and will not help if pregnancy test is negative.
Both the methods of taking tablets is correct but do take the two tablets not later than 24 hours after first tablet.
Hope this answers your questions.

Thank u for the advice doctor.
From what I understood
So one tablet first orally and within 24 hours
2 tablets of misoprostal orally or vaginally(please advice vaginally or orally)
Then how much wait to take next 2 remaining tablets ?? Also if the bleeding starts with the first two tablets itself then is it necessary to take the remaining 2 tablets of misoprostal? Whole 4 tablets of misoprostal is necessary even after bleeding starts from the first 2? This is first question

The second question is after we had intercourse she took ipill within 30 minutes.Also we had anal intercourse but the condom was broken and I had released sperms outside(floor) after 5-6 seconds on withdrawal .If the pregnancy urine test at home comes negative for the next 2-3 days then what could be the reason for delay in periods? I thought I shall let u know each detail for better response.

Please answer both questions separately .
Thank u for the help

Brief Answer:
Details below .

Detailed Answer:
1. All the four tablets are necessary even if bleeding starts after taking first two tablets. It can be taken orally. If she feels vomiting or fever then take vaginally to avoid these side effects. But it is best to take it under the guidance of a doctor as such self medication can be dangerous.
2. Delay in periods can be due to I-pill that she has taken. The chances of pregnancy in this case are less than 5%. If the test comes negative then wait for at least ten days more for the periods to start on their own. Taking I-pill causes hormonal disturbances that causes such delay in periods.

Brief Answer:
Test is negative.

Detailed Answer:
I have seen the test you have done. It is negative and rules out pregnancy. It is best to wait for periods to start on its own for at least one more week. Taking hormonal tablets again to get periods can cause further hormonal disturbances. To be very sure you can do a urine test again after one week if the periods do not start.
