Dear Nipa, Since you are just 5 weeks pregnant, you can very easily and effectively terminate the pregnancy by medicines. These medicines are used to terminate the pregnancy up to 9 weeks (63 days) of pregnancy. However, these medicines should be procured by Gynaecologist s prescription, should be taken by his/her advise as per the schedule and according to the advised route of administration. Therefore, intentionally I am not writing here the dosages and the modes of administration of these medicines. There are two regimes, you may follow either of it with your Gynaecologist s consultation: 1. Tab. Mifepristone followed after 24-48 hours by Tab. Misoprostol 2. Misoprostol only regime: Tab. Misoprostol every 3-12 hours up to 3 doses. Usually within 24 hours but not later than 3 days after the last dose of Misoprostol, abortion is complete. It is advisable to confirm the completeness of the abortion by ultrasonography and make a follow up visit to Gynaecologist after 7 days of the last dose of Misoprostol irrespective of the status of abortion. These medicines are teratogenic medicines; i.e. they cause developmental defects in the baby; hence in case of failure of these medicines, the decision to terminate the pregnancy should not be reverted to continuation. The pregnancy then should be terminated by surgical method like MVA aspiration. If you want to terminate the pregnancy directly by surgical method, you may opt for the MVA aspiration technique which is very quick and simple technique. It is usually performed under local or no anaesthesia. So, please report to your Gynaecologist for further action. I hope this helps you. Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
