Dear Friend,

You have been rightly advised about the consumption of the Mifepristone + Misoprostol regime. These medicines are very effective in terminating the pregnancy up to 9 weeks. Probably in next few hours to days, she will start the process of abortion.

At this stage, I have to warn you about one effect of these medicines. If at all, by any chance, these medicines fail to terminate the pregnancy, please do not change your mind to continue the pregnancy. After this regime, there are good chances of abnormalities developing in the foetus. So if at all they fail, please report to your Gynaecologist immediately and get the pregnancy terminated by some other method like surgical evacuation.

I hope this helps you.
