ANSWER: Hello, priyanka,
Please don't do this! You are risking your life!
I would guess that you got a Cipla kit. I am very upset about what Cipla is doing. Women in India are bleeding to death, taking these pills. Not only that, but a woman should NEVER use misoprostol vaginally. It can kill her within hours. No, not every woman dies, but why take a chance? Misoprostol is a stomach ulcer medication. The manufacturer says it should NEVER be used by a pregnant woman! Not only does it cause these problems, but it can also cause contractions so severe that they can rupture a woman's uterus, and there is no way to control the strength of them.
Evidently, Cipla doesn't care. I wrote to them about this, and they never wrote back. What do they care? There will be a few less women able to have babies. That means fewer babies. And that's what they're after, and they want to make money.
Please don't take any more of these pills! It doesn't sound like it was successful. You would have had to have contractions (cramps) and you didn't say you did. I am learning that taking these pills that early may not do any good anyway. Please find a decent doctor and tell him what you did, so he can help you get your body back into balance. Don't take this chance! You are too precious, and you deserve better.
You can get a recommendation for a decent doctor by going here:

Look under "India" in the country list. There are six listed. I may be able to get more; I am supposed to get a list from someone. If there is none near you, please contact the one that is closest and ask them to recommend a decent doctor.
Please let me know how you do, but please don't take any more chances with your life. Take care of yourself!

QUESTION: now the bleeding has stopped after 1 day of taking the misoprostol but is i still pregnant so wht to do to drop this pregnancy please answer me i cant go to any doctor
AnswerHi, priyanka,
Thank you for the followup question.
I don't know your circumstances, or why you feel you can't go to a doctor. However, if you keep on trying to get rid of your pregnancy, you may well end up either seeing a doctor, in the hospital, or dead. Self-medicating is always dangerous, and misoprostol is very, very dangerous. There are so many women just like you who are taking this drug, there in India, and then bleeding to death.
No pregnant woman should EVER take misoprostol!
It's that simple.
Please go to the site I recommended. At least get some counseling or let them tell you what your options are.

They will keep your information private. It won't hurt to talk to them. Seriously. You might find another answer, one you can live with.
If you get hurt, people will find out. And a lot of them will figure out what the situation was. Having an abortion to keep your pregnancy a secret doesn't work very well. And even if everything went as it should, there is still the emotional problem. Having an abortion can change your behavior. I have seen this happen.
Please understand that our bodies were designed to protect our children. A woman cannot submit to an abortion without suffering harm to her body. It always happens. Some women may seem to escape for a time, but eventually it catches up with them. You might be one of the "lucky" ones and escape with less damage. But it is not in the best interests of your health and peace of mind.
I recommend you go here and read some of the stories:

Please do this. Don't put yourself in more danger. Please.
You deserve better.
