Brief Answer:
Yes. Do under supervision of gynecologist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query. Followings are my comments:

1) Medical abortion can be done by Unwanted Kit or abortion pill successfully up to 9 weeks (63 days) in 95% cases.

However, it should be done under supervision of local gynecologist (need proper direction and complete prescription) and it will help in emergency situation, when there will be excessive bleeding and abdominal cramp (can't be controlled at home).

2) Following is the general guideline for medical abortion:

a) Do one Trans Vaginal ultrasound (TVS scan) to confirm gestational age and nature of pregnancy (uterine or tubal) before taking the abortion pill. Tubal pregnancy is more dangerous and it needs different treatment.

b) Ideally, 1 Mifepristone tab is taken in the morning, which is followed 24 to 48 hrs later by four Misoprostol tabs (2 orally and other 2 vaginally).

Immediately after taking those pills, she will get vaginal bleeding and strong abdominal cramp till fleshy mass or clots are expelled out.

c) She may get bleeding or small clots for 1-2 weeks to resolve the abortion completely. Next, follow up examination is required after 1 week to check for retained bits or placental tissue. One pelvic ultrasound (post abortion) is quite helpful for confirmation.

d) In failed medical abortion (5% cases), surgical procedure (D & C) is required to evacuate uterine cavity completely. In such case, gynecologist can help her.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care. Good luck.
