Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
I would advice you to see a gynecologist and get the pregnancy status confirmed. It is mandatory to confirm the presence of an intrauterine pregnancy and the period of gestation by a specialist and undergo a medical abortion under the guidance of the doctor. The required dose and mode of administration of the medicines will be suggested by the doctor.
Medical abortion may be performed up to 63 days of pregnancy, but, the earlier it is done the better are the chances of a complete abortion. The process would usually take a couple of days after the completion of the treatment.
Self-medication carries with it the dangers of an incomplete abortion, heavy bleeding, infection, failure to detect an ectopic pregnancy and consequent dangers, infertility in the future etc. Therefore, it is always advisable to perform the procedure under the guidance of a specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. Please feel free to contact if you need further clarifications. I will be happy to help.
