Hello
For medical abortion,one tablet of mifepristone is given followed by 4 tablets of misoprostol orally or intravaginally,after 48 hours.I don't know in what way you have given the medicines.
It is always better to consult a Gynecologist in such matters rather than doing it yourself.
In any case,you wait for 2 weeks and get the ultrasound done to see that abortion is complete.
In case some retained products of conception are seen,then D&C is done to remove the remnant foetus.
Please consult your doctor and get he things done properly.
Thanks
