Brief Answer:
You need to reconfirm first.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have very carefully gone through the details and understand your concerns. If you had your periods on 30th November, it should have been 6th or 7th day of your cycle and so ovulation is very unusual with a day or two of this time. So, I would insist you to get it cross checked with another urine test or even blood HCG level to be sure. It is only after confirmation that you should go for medication. As such, mifepristone + misoprostol combination (available in various brands like iPill) is the most used and effective pill to get rid of pregnancy at this stage. But it is a prescription medicine and should be taken under supervision of your gynecologist since it can lead to heavy and uncontrolled bleeding.

Let me know if I could help further.
