Brief Answer:
Ultrasound scan required

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about abortion.

Abortion pills can be taken only after confirmation of pregnancy location on ultrasound scan.

Ultrasound scan helps in identifying location and periods of pregnancy. I suggest get an ultrasound scan before deciding upon termination of pregnancy.

Cyst is not a problem in terminating pregnancy.

the gyn did an ultrasound. she said that the pregnancy is too early to abort by pill because the sac is too small that the pill might miss. is this true or do they just want me to come back to spend on another sonogram?
