Brief Answer:
medical abortion would fail now....surgical option available
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
At 12 weeks period of gestation the foetus is too big to be aborted with medications now.
You have to visit your obstetrician and discuss the options in detail,as its a continued pregnancy. I would suggest that if there is no problem in continuing the pregnancy then you should contemplate the options of continuing now rather than aborting it.
Nevertheless , if you still insist on abortion then i feel Dilatation and curettage under ultrasound guidance can be an option with your physician now.
Regards
