Brief Answer:
Medical termination is difficult
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
Usually medical termination with tablets is possible upto eight weeks of gestation.
After that tablets to induce abortion can lead to incomplete abortion and retained products.
Before planning for abortion you have to get examined by your doctor and have to undergo ultrasound.
Ultrasound is needed to confirm the intrauterine pregnancy and to estimate the gestational age.
After that according to the gestational age you can choose the method for abortion with your doctors advice.
Usually termination of pregnancy at 16 weeks of gestational is difficult, you may need induction and expulsion of products like XXXXXXX labor.
Take care.
