Dear Ashwini,
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the medical termination of the pregnancy.

Incomplete data like the actual duration of pregnancy.

You must consult a gynecologist before taking the MTP kit.
As its use may cause harmful side effects like severe vaginal bleeding and cramps.

Mifepristone in combination with Misoprostol would be a safe and effective method of terminating the pregnancy at 9-13 weeks provided it should be supervised by a gynecologist.

Kit consists of one large tablet Mifepristone to be taken orally at once and then after 48 hours of that take the rest of the four tablets of Misoprostol.

After taking full kit, abortion occurs anytime between 6 hours to 5 days.
But in few patients there can be an incomplete abortion or excessive vaginal bleeding and in that case you have to visit a gynecologist.

Since your hemoglbin is 8 gm, you must take Iron and folic acid tablets.

Hope this answers your query.

Kindly rate the answer, if you are convinced.
