Brief Answer:
medical abortion...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,

I would like to appraise you that cinnamon per se cannot induce abortion completely and doesn't ensure completion of abortion. Though naturopathy does recommend cinnamon to initiate bleeding but there have been more cases of incomplete abortion rather than safe abortion.
Also the protocol for medical abortion again depends on the period of gestation of pregnancy. Secondly, it has to be initiated only under a specialist's supervision with recommended doses for termination of pregnancy by medical method.
Before contemplating abortion it is very important to get an ultrasound pelvis done for localisation of pregnancy if it is intrauterine or extrauterine. An intrauterine pregnancy is safe to subject to medical abortion but an ectopic pregnancy may require a much complex regimen and often surgical intervention.
So it is recommended that you may opt for proven evidence based methods of abortion and not by natural means as they can be consequential.
I hope i have answered your query in detail,
Wishing you good health,
Regards

Brief Answer:
get a serum beta hcg test done,.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In that case first confirm pregnancy with a serum beta hcg test. If this comes as positive then she is pregnant and if the levels of hcg is less than 1 then the test is negative and she is not pregnant at all. This test is effective after 7 days of intercourse.
Or else you can opt to wait for 8 days post missed period to perform the urine pregnancy test.
So in either case, pregnancy should be confirmed before undertaking any decision for medical abortion.
