Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
You are already 8 weeks pregnant. yOu can opt for termination of pregnancy by medical method under a gynaecologist's supervision after confirming an intrauterine pregnancy. You need to get an ultrasound pelvis to rule out ectopic pregnancy first and then medical abortion can be undertaken at registered MTP CENTER.
There are no natural ways to abort a child at 8 weeks, in fact such trials always lead to infection, severe bleeding and incomplete abortion. So safest would be to report to your gynecologist soon.

Hello,
There are set protocols with mifepristone and misoprostol which have to be taken in a specific prescribed manner and patient has to be monitored for excessive bleeding and pain. It can be prescribed by gynecologist and medical termination should be undertaken only under gynaecologist's supervision. Please meet your gynecologist.
