Answer
Hello, aanchal,

Please don't take any more misoprostol. It can kill you. It should never be taken by a pregnant woman! The company that is selling these pills is totally unscrupulous. Mifepristone is also dangerous.

If you are still pregnant, please leave things alone and go see a decent doctor. A person who would offer you an abortion doesn't have your personal well being at heart. Abortion is dangerous, and violates medical ethics. If you need help because you are pregnant, please go here:

Choose "India" from the country list. Click on "Details" for contact information.

If you don't have any organization near you, call the closest one and ask them to recommend someone to contact. These organizations help women with whatever problems they face; they provide counseling, financial and medical help, supplies for a baby, and adoption help. Go and see what they have to offer and hear what they have to say.

You didn't tell me how far along you were. This is important. If you will tell me that, I can tell you how likely it is that the pills would have the desired effect.

If you start to bleed heavily, please make sure and eat plenty of spicy food that has red hot peppers in it (cayenne). Women are bleeding to death after taking pills, in India. Please don't be one of them. Whatever you do, do NOT put anything into your vagina, either. That could cause you to get a massive infection that will kill you within hours.

I will be here for you. Let me know if you have any other questions, and feel free to come whenever you need to talk. Take care and stay safe!
