Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am pregnant for one month. I got to know it when I missed my periods on a fourth of date. I had sex with my husband after an eighth of date. Then I did the pregnancy test 3 to 4 times and it was positive. Then I tried natural abortion methods like having food for natural abortion but it did not work. It is 4 to 5 days now. I want to take the abortion pill. Can I take the abortion pill without doing any test? Or use the abortion kit at home? I only take the Omega site tables as the doctor said and completed that course 15 days ago.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Firstly, if this is an unplanned pregnancy then you may consider termination. But it is important to learn the location of pregnancy first, whether it is intrauterine or an ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus). This is because in that case, you cannot undertake abortion by MTP (medical termination of pregnancy) pills. Hence, an ultrasound pelvis is a must to establish the location of pregnancy first. Secondly, it would also estimate the period of gestation and if less than nine weeks then you can opt for termination of pregnancy by the medical method under a gynecologist supervision safely.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
