I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
Abortion pills can only be taken under supervision of a doctor because it may cause infection, severe bleeding and retained products of conception.
You have to go for ultrasound pelvis before starting these medications.
No need to take any natural remedies, it can be dangerous
