Hi & Welcome.

It is not safe to take Mifepristone without consulting a gynecologist.

If used it may cause serious vaginal bleeding and cramps which can not be managed at home.

Consult gynecologist & get the ultrasound done to find out the duration of pregnancy and its location. By this intrauterine pregnancy can be confirmed and gestational age can be estimated.
Then accordingly the gynecologist will advice the method of abortion.
Medical termination (abortion) is possible till 7 to 8 weeks of pregnancy.
This pill should not be given if your gf has ectopic pregnancy.

Hope to have answered your query.
