Brief Answer:
Need to go for an induced medical abortion under surveillance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Natural methods for inducing an abortion are unsafe and can lead to incomplete abortion, heavy bleeding, infection and future fertility problems. Self-medication also is prone with similar accidents. In addition, the rare possibility of trying to abort an ectopic pregnancy results in grave danger to life.

So, please see a specialist for a clinical confirmation of pregnancy, get a trans-vaginal sonogram to locate the gestation sac and also for the age of the pregnancy and under medical surveillance, get a medical abortion if the pregnancy is less than 9 weeks. For pregnancies more than 9 weeks, surgical abortion is required.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
