Brief Answer:
DO ONE
BLOOD TEST FOR BETA-hCG.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
In this circumstance, I suggest to undergo one blood test for beta-hCG to confirm
pregnancy. It is more reliable and accurate than rapid pregnancy test. On positive result, she must do one
ultrasound scan to know the nature of conception (tubal or uterine) before proceeding to termination of pregnancy (
medical abortion).
However, self administration of abortion pill (MTP kit) is NOT recommended. She doesn't go for that.
The abortion procedure is associated with several risks and complications like nausea, vomiting,
abdominal cramp,
excessive vaginal bleeding, fainting etc. She can't control them by herself at home. Therefore, I suggest to consult with local GYNECOLOGIST or healthcare provider for safe termination.
Abortion kit contains two types of pills. One pill is to be taken orally at the first appointment and another pill is to be inserted into vagina (or buccal ) after 48 hrs of first pill.
This process can be done at home if you consult once with LOCAL DOCTOR as you have to go for follow up examination after 2 weeks to confirm that abortion process is completed. One pelvic ultrasound scan is required to check retained bits if any. Around 5% women needs D & C or suction (surgical method) to evacuate the
uterine cavity.
To summarize, you must visit to local GYNECOLOGIST for medical abortion and take proper advice on follow up visits and in emergency.
Hope, it will be helpful for your information. Kindly, close the discussion, if you don't have any other query.
Wish her good health and take care yourself.

Dr Soumen
