Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Success with misoprostol only may be up to 80%.Failure does not mean you are not normal.However, success lower if gestational age above 12weeks.I will advise you go back to your Doctor and Present the situation. You may ask for a misoprostol and mefipristone combination. Success with this is above 95%.
Hope my answer will help you
Best wishes
