If you are trying to abort on your own without a doctors supervision you need to know it is dangerous and illegal and punishable with years in prison. A medical abortion is a combo with 2 medications and just Mifepristone wont do it. So get to a doctor and have it safely and legally done. If you need financial help there might be help to get so please ask again if that is the case. If it's another problem you can also ask again and maybe we can help. But don't attempt it on your own. Women have been hurt that way.
