How To Terminate Unwanted Pregnancy?

I just found out that I am 5 weeks pregenant. My husband and I are not trying to have a baby right now. We both would like to wait until later in life so we would like to have an abortion through the abortion pill. I am wandering if you have to go to an abortion clinic or if an OBGYN will prescribe the medication?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Abortion pill containing mifepristone plus misoprostol is safe and effective treatment for medical termination of the intrauterine pregnancy under the advice of the gynecologist after confirming the intrauterine pregnancy by USG scan.
So consult the gynecologist and undergo USG.
It is confidential process and safe procedure.
According to method, 600 mg mifepristone orally should be followed by misoprostol 800 ug vaginally by gynecologist after 48 hours.
Some time double dose may be required in some case.
Dose can be modified by gynecologist depending upon the response.
Abortion process will start within 35-45 minutes after putting the tablet and will finish in the 4-5 days.
Post abortion USG should require at the 14th day to confirm the complete process of the abortion.
Do not use abortion pill as self medication as it cause serious complication like excessive bleeding, cramp, abnormal development of the pregnancy in case of failure.
Hope this may help you
