Hello,

According to your LMP, your gestational age is 5 weeks plus. Medical abortion can be done successfully with MTP kit up to 7 weeks and max 9 weeks.

But this type of medication should be taken under supervision of your doctor to avoid unnecessary excessive vaginal bleeding or other complication. You can't control them at home.

Sometimes, retained bits or placental tissue may be present inside the uterine cavity following medical abortion. Hence one USG scan is required to make a decision for D & C (surgical abortion).

Please consult with your doctor regarding this for proper management. Be well.
