Brief Answer:
You should follow the pattern as advice by your treating doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Abortion pills should always be taken under supervision and you are already taken it under supervision.
So you should follow your doctor opinion further also.
But we usually give it vaginally ( mesoprostol) for better results.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
