Hallow Dear,
At five weeks of gestational period, you can definitely terminate the pregnancy safely and successfully by medicines. Tab. Mifepristone 200 mg followed by Tab. Misoprostol 800 microgm 24-48 hours later are very effective in terminating pregnancy up to 9 weeks duration.
These medicines are very successful no doubt; however, if occasionally they fail, they have ill effects on the development of the baby. Hence if these medicines fail to effect abortion, the decision should not be reverted to the continuation of pregnancy. In such event, the pregnancy should be terminated by evacuation of the uterus. At this stage, uterus can be aspirated by Karman's cannula and MVA syringe to effect and complete the abortion.
These medicines are not over the counter medicines and should be obtained only by Obstetrician's prescription and taken under supervision. It is advisable to report to the Obstetrician 7 days after taking the medicines irrespective of the success or failure of the medicines. I always feel it safer to get the ultrasonography done after 7 days to confirm the completeness of the abortion.
I hope you get the message and proceed for the termination of pregnancy only with the help of an Obstetrician.
