Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion it is very rare for ipill to fail and cause the pregnancy.
Usually it is 95% effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
But as it has failed the pregnancy needs to be terminated.
There are both medical and surgical methods depending on the age of pregnancy.
Early pregnancy upto 7 weeks can be terminated by medical method.And anything more than 7 weeks needs surgical termination.
The MTP kits which are available should not be tried on your own as they are associated with complications like heavy bleeding,incomplete abortion etc.
Take the medicines only under doctor supervision to avoid complications.
Nothing to worry.Relax.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
