Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
The safest way to terminate pregnancy is by a doctor and the safest place for abortion would be in a hospital. You have mentioned that you went to the obstetrics department this week, but I'm not sure why you have not discussed this with the doctor.
Your obstetrician would be the best person to advise you on this and will let you know what options you have for a medical termination of pregnancy, provided it is appropriate and legal in your country.
Please do not attempt to try any other non-medical methods, since they can be unsafe and even life-threatening if complications occur.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
