Suggest Treatment For Termination Of Pregnancy

Hi, I m Sarah. I ve just completed my first year and university and I ve have just tested positive on a pregnancy test. I am a serious athlete with Olympic aims at Rio and further into the future. I am terrified to talk this through with my family and I really see no other option than abortion. In the future I plan to have children but right now just really isn t the time. I have no financial income and I will have a huge debt to pay off after just this year alone which is no environment to be bringing up a child in.

Hello Ms. Sarah,
In the current scenario, please see a specialist for a proper clinical evaluation, get a trans-vaginal sonogram to know the location of the gestation sac and the age of the pregnancy and if you wish not to retain the pregnancy, go for an induced medical abortion under the guidance of the expert. The process takes a couple of days and a follow up sonogram is done after two weeks to confirm the completion of the process. Once this is complete, please make sure you use regular contraception to prevent such incidents in future. Hope this helps.
