Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.

First and foremost important thing is that abortion should always be done under supervision of a doctor or an expert.
Sometimes it may cause severe bleeding, infection and retained products of conception.
So please do not try any home remedies for the same.

I can understand your concern but the chances of complications are more with abortion after 12 weeks.
So better you should consult a gynaecologist and get your pelvic ultrasound test done to see the exact week of pregnancy.
If she allows then only you can go for abortion through surgical method( D&C).

Abortion pills( medical abortion) can be taken up to 49 days of pregnancy.
In your case you said it is approximately 13-14 weeks pregnancy.
So pills are not effective in your case.

Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.
Regards
