Brief Answer:
Transvaginal ultrasound scan
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As i see you have already been adviced about taking these medicines the correct way.
I would like you to get an ultrasound scan before taking these tablets to know if there is ectopic pregnancy.
Since you were unsuccessful at first attempt, you should not be attempting it again. You must confirm the location of pregnancy before going ahead with self medication.
Self medication for abortion is dangerous and life threatening especially when pregnancy location is not known. Please get transvaginal scan done to know the location of pegnancy before any other interventions.

I have done the scan, too early to show pregnancy. also did blood simply pregnancy test it was positive. should I go ahead with the mifipriston and misoprostol medication immediately?
Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Please repeat blood test after 48 hours. If it is doubling then you csn go ahead considering it as normal pregnancy.
If not doubling it could be ectopic pregnancy. You should not take the medicine in that case and opt gor colour doppler ultrasound scan for ectopic pregnancy.
Hope your doubt is cleared.
