Hi
I appreciate your concerns.
If you do not wish to continue the pregnancy, the only option is abortion. At this early
gestational age you can take medicines to abort (
medical abortion). Medicines can be used to abort baby for up to 9 weeks of pregnancy.
Before using the medicines, you should consult your family physician /Gynecologist to make sure that the pregnancy is in the uterus and you do not have contraindications for the medications.
In Medical abortion there are two types of medicines ( anti
progesterone and
prostaglandin) used for abortion. Medical abortion is about 95% effective. Most women (80%) abort within 24 hours of taking the second pill. Some take little longer. After aborting the pregnancy you may have light bleeding for two weeks. Get an
ultrasound done after two weeks to make sure that the abortion process is complete.
If you have heavy bleeding (soaks 2pads/hour for more than two hours) or if the bleeding persists even after 2 weeks you must see the doctor.
To avoid such unnecessary stress I advise you to consult your doctor and start regular
contraception like hormonal contraception or have an
intrauterine device fitted as they are very effective in preventing pregnancy.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. If you have any further queries do contact me through healthcare magic
