Question : what is birth control pill if my wife period has not come after a month and pregnancy test positive

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal (10 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
There is only abortion pills to terminate pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I can understand your concern here.
If her pregnancy test is positive after one month of her missed period date and you want to terminate the pregnancy ( sorry if I misunderstood your query) than there is only abortion pill which can terminate the pregnancy.
No birth control pills or method can prevent pregnancy right now.
So you should consult a Gynaecologist and take abortion pills under her supervision.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
Regards
