Hello,

Thanks for the query,

Since you have missed your periods by 12 days, I suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done using UPT Kit. This will tell you whether you are pregnant. Your treatment will entirely depend on the results.

If it turns out to be positive, then get an ultrasound abdomen to be more sure. gynecologist. I suggest you to get these tests at the earliest, because if MTP is done at an earlier stages ,there are high chances of success.

If pregnancy test is negative, you can take progestins group of drugs for few days to induce your menstrual cycle. Progestins can be prescribed by a nearest gynecologist.

Hope this helps. You may write to me anytime for further clarifications.

Regards,
Dr Nilofer
