Hi,
I understand your concern.
If your wife has a confirmed pregnancy.. & you are not prepared for pregnancy, I would request to give a second thought. For if you intend to have a child, why not this one ? medical termination of pregnancy can be done by medicine .. The procedure though looks simple can have side effects ( if not taken care of in time )which are not desirable.
Any way, if both of you are firm on stopping the pregnancy you can use MTP kit . It terminates pregnancy upto 63 days.
Kit contains two type of pills -
- 1 pill of Mifepristin 200 mg &
-4 pills of Misoprostol 200mcg each.
Single pill of Mifepristin is to be taken orally .After 2 days it is followed by 4 pills of Misoprostol vaginally. Abortion usually follows in 4 hours of Misoprostol. If not additional dose of Misoprostol can be given orally or vaginally.
* I would stress to get the MTP done under a gynecologist's guidance.. to avoid any untoward problems. Like ectopic pregnancy/ excessive bleeding/ incomplete abortion/ infection .
Thanks.
