Brief Answer:
medical supervision required
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Let me explain the process of medical abortion with pills to you.
While undergoing a medical abortion, one should constantly be under medical supervision.
Let me explain why this is important.
Firstly, the pregnancy should be confirmed by a doctor , preferably with an ultrasound scan.
So it is not just enough to have a positive home pregnancy test, but it is vital to consult a gynecologist and have a pelvic ultrasound scan.
This has two purposes.
It dates the pregnancy accurately, because these abortion pills work only within a narrow frame of time.
Secondly, it confirms that the pregnancy is inside the uterus, rarely, there is a condition called ectopic pregnancy ( pregnancy outside the uterus ) which is very dangerous.
After confirming the pregnancy, tablets are taken by prescription.
Generally 1 tablet of Mifepristone is taken orally, 48 hours later 4 more tablets of Misoprostol are taken orally or inserted vaginally.
Bleeding with cramps starts in a few hours, and lasts heavily for a few days.
Spotting might continue for 15 days or more.
It is compulsory to have a follow up scan after 15 days to establish that the uterus is empty and the abortion is now complete.
Pills are more than 96 % effective in early pregnancy, however rarely there maybe complications such as - heavy bleeding, infection, failure of pills leading to surgical abortion , fainting etc.
Hence it is a must to keep a doctor in the loop throughout.
All the best
