Brief Answer:
You should always take pills under supervision.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
First of all it is very important that abortion pills should be taken under supervision of an expert or a doctor.
Otherwise sometimes it may lead to severe bleeding, infection, and retained product of conception.
Prior taking medication you should go for ultrasonography test also to see the site and exact week of pregnancy.
Sorry! to say but in your case you have not done these things correctly.
You had your doses in a wrong manner.
Dosing are as follows-
day 1- mifepristone300 orally
Day 2-mesoprostol 200 BD for 2 days orally or vaginally
Repeat ultrasonography 10 days after taking pills.
I think I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.
Regards
