Hi,
Please note that even unwanted 72 tablet itself can delay your period for a week or so.
Did you do the pregnancy test after missing the period or you took the mifepristone without taking a pregnancy test. If so first do the pregnancy test. If it is negative the problem is solved. Wait for the period to come.

2-5% of them abort following mifepristone alone.
If you don't abort take misoprostol 400 micrograms orally 48 hours later.
Usually You will start bleeding and abort within 24 hours. The bleeding is heavy in the first 2-4 hours. Light bleeding can continue up to 2 weeks sometimes.
If you soak 2 pads in one hour for more than 2 hours or have bleeding for more than 2 weeks you should see the doctor.

Take Injection Anti D if you are Rh negative.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
