To avoid pregnancy it is best to use regular oral contraceptive pills at your age. To prevent pregnancy after intercourse you can take emergency contraceptive pill like Plan B within 72 hours. In case it is more than 72 hours since intercourse, you will have to wait till your periods to confirm the pregnancy and in case the test is positive, consult your gynecologist and get abortion pills prescribed.

Brief Answer:
Do not try abortion at home.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
It is life threatening to try and abort the pregnancy on your own.
It is essential to have the pregnancy confirmed by a gynecologist .
It must be exactly dated too.
Next, medical abortion pills are to be taken as per prescription and correct schedule that your doctor explains to you.
I can explain the general protocol to you, but again, taking them without consulting a doctor is not just illegal, but potentially life threatening.
Generally, 1 tablet of Mifepristone is taken orally.
24 hours later, 2 tablets of 200 mcg Cytotec are taken orally or vaginally followed by 2 more such tablets another 24 hours later.
After this procedure, bleeding and cramping might start within 24 - 48 hours, and continue for upto 2 - 3 weeks.
It is also vital to have a follow up ultrasound scan to check that the abortion pills worked and the uterus is empty, after 15 days of taking the tablets.
Failing to take these precautions , there are risks such as - infection, uncontrolled bleeding, retained products, undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy etc.
And if these steps are followed, the pills work in more than 95 % of cases.
All the best
