The best thing she can do is go to the hospital! AND This information is of a US website and even that says only 2 pills for Pill abortions. Within 48 hours or it is basically dangerous to the mother as well as the baby.

She should still be in hosp anyways and the hospital she went to CAN get sued for what they have done! As they are not actually following the medical procedure correctly anyways!!! They have performed the wrong type of abortion and it can be dangerous!
GO TO THE HOSP NOW!!!!

Medical Abortion (brand name Mifeprex) is a form of early abortion caused by the combination of two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol that is an option for women who are 8 weeks pregnant or less. Also known as RU486 or medication abortion.

During the first appointment at the clinic you receive the mifepristone pill to take orally. Then 24 to 72 hours later, in the privacy of your own home, you take the the second medication, misoprostol. Misoprostol causes contractions resulting in a miscarriage. When used in combination, mifepristone and misoprostol are 95-97% effective within two weeks. Mifepristone and misoprostol are FDA approved.


You shouldnt of taken that pill as you are over 8 weeks.

What are the different methods for termination of pregnancy?
There are two commonly used methods.

1.An abortion pill. This is for pregnancies up to about nine weeks old and involves taking two drugs – called mifepristone and prostaglandin – 48 hours apart. These have the effect of causing the womb to contract and shed its lining so that the embryo is lost through the vagina. This can be painful and some women feel sick or have vomiting and diarrhoea with these drugs.

2.A surgical termination can be performed up to 13 weeks. This may be performed under local or a general anaesthetic. A sterile tube is introduced into the womb through the cervix. Suction is applied through the tube and the pregnancy terminated. Most women leave hospital on the same day. From 14 to 19 weeks the technique is slightly different in that it is known as a surgical dilation and evacuation where the neck of the womb is stretched open to allow forceps to remove the foetus.

3.A medical termination can be performed up to 24 weeks – though such late abortions are now very rare. This involves giving the patient a course of two different types of medicine. The first medicine (mifepristone) is taken by mouth at the hospital or clinic, with the woman returning 48 hours later. She will then be given a medicine called a prostaglandin, either by mouth or as a vaginal pessary. The termination usually occurs within 12 hours of this when the woman passes the pregnancy vaginally. Pain, is often experienced but pain relief will always be available. (Surgical termination is also occasionally performed at the 20-24 week stage although this is more complicated and requires a two-stage process. The first stage involves stopping the heart of the foetus and softening the neck of the womb, and the second stage occurs the next day by surgical evacuation.)
The type of termination a woman is offered will depend upon the length of her pregnancy, the facilities available and also her personal preference.


This might help alot better!!!

And sorry I had a medical abortion! as you are 13 weeks. You should be in hosp and have a surgical abortion, not the pill!!!

Okay, I am sorry if I got it wrong then. Just didnt seem that way through 6 hours of being in that clinic whatching people going in an out... I never saw one of them take more than one pill. I saw about 15 -20 people have the same thing.... And th information leaflet said exactly what I stated with the pills!! Might be different in different places. I am from the UK you see.

I interned at an ab clinic. Once you take the first pill it stops the growth of the baby with the other FOUR and it is FOUR pills u put them in the jaws of your mouth. But since you said u threw up within 30 minutes of taking them there is no certain way to tell wether or not it worked/didn't work unless u get to the doctors imediately.... I'm not a doctor but as I stated I nterned at an ab clinic so I do kno much about this.
