Hallow Dear,

I sincerely feel you should have taken medicines for termination of pregnancy on an Obstetrician's advice. Cytotec (Misoprostol) works better if taken after Mifepristone. However, only Misoprostol also can terminate the pregnancy. Usually, the termination process is complete within seven days. If this medicine fails, there is a possibility of congenital malformations in the baby and hence continuation of pregnancy is not advised.

Please report to the Obstetrician to get this pregnancy terminated by suitable method.

I hope I gave you the correct message,

Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
