Hello,
Medication abortion is only works until 10 weeks into a
pregnancy (that means 10 weeks after your last period). It is also sometimes called
medical abortion. Women who have a medication abortion need to take 2 separate medicines. Doctor will prescribe you a medicine called mifepristone . 1 to 2 days later, you will take another medicine. This one is called
misoprostol. you can take the second medicine at home. I might take 4 to 6 hours after taking the second medicine for this to happen. When it does, you will bleed from your vagina. you might also see
blood clots or pieces of tissue.
In some cases, abortions do not work completely. in other words, they do not always get rid of all the pregnancy tissue. If that happens to you, you will need to have a procedure to remove any leftover tissue. sign that an abortion was not complete include: not bleeding after a medication abortion, still feeling symptoms of pregnancy, such as
nausea and tender breasts, 1 week or more after your abortion. bleeding for more than 2 weeks after an abortion, not having a period in the first 6 weeks after an abortion.
In general, I not recommend an abortion without indication. Abortion do have some small risk. When you pregnant it mean you have a baby life. You should not end the baby life like that. Unfair for them.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
