Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Abortion by pills is possible for pregnancies less than 12 weeks. Since you are 5 weeks pregnant, it is possible to abort the products of conception by intake of pills. However, you need to do it under medical supervision, as you must make sure the abortion is complete. Otherwise, it may cause certain complications, which can be life-threatening too. The process uses two drugs: 1. Mifepristone - it is an anti-progesterone, binds to the progesterone receptor to block the receptor, thus inhibiting progesterone from binding. Mifepristone also softens and dilates the cervix, causes placental detachment), increases uterine lining prostaglandin release and increases uterine contractions. 2. Misoprostol - it causes contractions of the womb and as a consequence, the womb expels the pregnancy. Using Misoprostol alone to cause an abortion will be successful 90% of the time. If it is not effective during the first time, you can try again after 3 days. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
