Question : Hi, I've recently found out that I'm pregnant. I could be about 3 to 5 weeks along. It's getting an abortion pill easy? Is it over and done with in a day when I see a doctor or is there a wait for getting it?
Just needing some information before going to a gp, thank you

Brief Answer:
Early pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings.
I don't know from which country you belong to.
If you have missed your periods recently ,say 1 week then you are around 5 weeks .
Now ,before taking abortion pills, you need to confirm it is intrauterine pregnancy .
once confirmed and within the periods of medical abortion you need to take mifipristone and followed 48 hrs by misoprostol.
The brand name and dose will be finalised by your gynaecologist.
It is safer to be under her supervision,because at times it can be incomplete and bleeding can be more.
Hope you are convinced. Regards
