See your doctor: These pills are 90% effective in inducing abortion. That leaves 10% possibility of still being pregnant. If you did not have bleeding and cramping within a few hours of taking the medicine, you may still be pregnant. You need to see your physician asap for an examination, pregnancy test, and possibly sonogram.
