Hello dear
Understand your concern
You can not use norcutin for abortion. It is used for delayed the period. Safe and effective treatment of terminate the pregnancy is mifepristone followed by misoprostol if it is used under observation and guidance of gynecologist. Pre abortion USG is done for confirming intrauterine pregnancy. Its success rate is 96-98 percent if used properly. By procedure Mifepristone 600 mg followed by 400 ug misoprostol vaginally after 24 hour. 400 ug should be given after 4 hour if needed under supervision of gynecologist.
In failure you can not continue the pregnancy as it cause malformation of fetus.
Post abortion USG should be done at 14th day to confirm the incomplete abortion.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
