How many percentage will the abortion pills (cytotec) works at 14 or 15 weeks?

Well, I am 23 years old and I got pregnant from my boyfriend but unfortunately due to some reason i am facing i can't keep the baby. In the country i am living now abortion is illegally forbidden unless the mother health in in danger or the baby.
So before few weeks ago I took abortion pills (cytotec) orally I was having 8 week pregnancy. At the beginning i felt dizzy and start vomiting later on i start to have some cramps and some watery discharge start to come out but no bleeding. I am really nervous because one of my friends did the same thing but had bleeding after 5 or 6 hours from taking the pills.
*after taking that by four previous days I start to have some discharge coming out from me but sometimes it is so yellowish and light browinsh color. I don't know what is happening.

Now i am around 14 weeks of pregnancy I want to take abortion pills (cytotec) but i want to know how many percentage it will work? Because i am in really bad situation and must have an abortion.. I am so depressed,,

Hello,
Medical abortion is possible only until 9 weeks of pregnancy and beyond this period, you need to undergo surgical abortion. Also, by the history you have given it appears as though the dosage of medication taken was probably insufficient either as such or because you vomited soon after. In such a situation, it is essential to know if the pregnancy is progressing normally until now, which may not often be. The abortion pills are teratogenic and may lead to fetal malformations. Please consult a specialist to plan further management. Hope this helps.
