Hi
Yes. There is a method to abort this pregnancy using medicines. This method is 95% effective. You need to consult your gynecologist to make sure that the pregnancy is within the uterus and you have no contraindication for the medicines.
In medical abortion you need to take 600mg of mifepristone orally. 2-5% of them abort following mifepristone alone.
If you don't abort take misoprostol 400 micrograms orally 48 hours later.
Usually You will start bleeding and abort within 24 hours. The bleeding is heavy in the first 2-4 hours. Light bleeding can continue up to 2 weeks sometimes.
If you soak 2 pads/hour for more than 2 hours or have bleeding for more than 2 weeks you should see your doctor.
Take Injection Anti D if you are Rh negative.
