How To Terminate Unwanted Pregnancy?
Question: searching for a pill for abortion as she skipped her period date and its 8th day.
Brief Answer:
DO HOME PREGNANCY TEST & CONSULT WITH DOCTOR.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:
1) At first, she needs to undergo one HOME PREGNANCY TEST to rule out possible pregnancy before taking any kind of abortion pill. There are several reasons of missed period besides pregnancy like hormonal imbalance, mental stress, over weight, irregular diet habit etc. Therefore, ABORTION PILL will NOT be helpful WITHOUT confirmation of pregnancy.
2) On POSITIVE test, medical abortion can be done successfully with abortion pill in early weeks of pregnancy (up to 9 weeks). However, self administration of abortion pill is NOT recommended due to having several risks and complications like nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramp, excessive vaginal bleeding, fainting etc. She can't control them by herself at home.
Therefore, I suggest her to consult with local GYNECOLOGIST or healthcare provider for safe termination.
3) On NEGATIVE test, she may require PROGESTERONE pill to induce period. In that case, she needs a complete prescription.
To summarize, she must visit to local GYNECOLOGIST for medical abortion and take proper advice on follow up visits and in emergency.
Hope, it will be helpful for your information. Kindly, close the discussion, if you don't have any other query.
Wish her good health and take care yourself.
