Brief Answer:
It needs medical supervision.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
To terminate an occult pregnancy the medicines used are mifepristone and misoprostol. But these are also prescription medicines and are strictly used under medical supervision.
The blood HCG levels need to be monitored regularly to check the response. You should never try a pregnancy to abort at home because it may sometimes leads to severe bleeding, retained product of conception and infection.
In my opinion you should go and consult an expert or a doctor for your problem.
First you should confirm the site and exact week of pregnancy by ultrasonography. Then you can take abortion pills as prescribed by your doctor.
You should go for repeat ultrasonography after 10 days of taking abortion pills.

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Brief Answer:
Cytotec has to be used.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Cytotec has to be used along with Mifepristone. Cytotec alone will not help. There is no other safer drug to help you. Since your baby is just 6 months old, you can go for medical abortion but it has be done under the supervision of your doctor.
Do take adequate contraceptive measures in future.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
