How To Terminate Pregnancy Through Medicines?
Me and my girl friend had sex on 10th Feb (her fertile period) I ejaculated my sperm outside her vagina. Her next period was expected to have on 27th or 28th of Feb but didn't happen. Today she called me up and said she is pregnant as she had done pregnancy taste today. Showed positive. It's 3rd week today since her pregnant. We are still students. So, is there any process for abortion through medicines? If so then please guide me. I am too much serious about the problem.

Hallow Dear,
You seemed to have impregnated her by your preejaculation secretions.
Three weeks after missed period is 7 weeks of gestation. It is possible to terminate the pregnancy of this duration by medicines safely and effectively.
Tab. Mifepristone followed after 24-48 hours by Tab. Misoprostol terminate the pregnancy effectively up to 9 weeks of gestation. Usually, the abortion starts within 24 hours, but may require up to 7 days also. However, these are not 'over the counter' medicines. You can buy them only by Obstetrician's prescription. 7 days after the last dose of Misoprostol, it is advisable to have a follow up visit to Obstetrician.
These medicines are known to cause the developmental abnormalities in the baby. Therefore, if these medicines fail to terminate the pregnancy, the decision should not be reverted to continuation of pregnancy, but the pregnancy should be terminated by surgical technique like MVA or so.
I hope this helps you.
