Answer
Hello, Som,

Do NOT take the misoprostol! It can KILL you. If you do not complete the abortion with the pills you have already taken, seek medical help. You are close to the limit when the pills will even work. If they do not work, do not do anything further. Abortion is always dangerous, and it always causes damage. At the very least, it makes a woman much more susceptible to a deadly form of breast cancer, and to auto-immune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Misoprostol can cause you to bleed to death, rupture your uterus, or develop an infection that will kill you within hours. Bleeding to death is very common in India. If your bleeding gets out of control, seek medical help. Also, make sure you get red hot peppers (cayenne) either in food or in a supplement, on a regular basis, until the bleeding stops completely.

Let me know what problems you face that makes you want to take these poisonous pills. I will see what other solution you might be able to have. You deserve better than abortion. Unfortunately, I have to leave now, but you should feel free to write again with any other concerns you might have. Please. Don't harm yourself any further. Take care.
