I am pregnant. I do not want to carry my pregnancy. Can I take abortion pills?

Hi

welcome to icliniq.com.

As the urine pregnancy test result was positive, you are pregnant. However, it is very important to confirm the same by scan and to locate the pregnancy to make sure it is in the uterus and not outside, which is called an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies cannot be aborted by pills, and they present a dangerous situation, which requires immediate medical attention. You can terminate an intrauterine pregnancy with pills up to 63 days after the first day of your last period. Following that, failure rates are high. The earlier the termination, the less risk of complications. Pills for termination cannot be prescribed over the phone or online, as it is illegal and dangerous.

Side effects from the abortion pills themselves can be dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and diarrhea. It is normal during the process of abortion to have cramping, bleeding, and the passing of clots and some tissue. It is required that you see a gynecologist in person, as there can be complications such as excessive bleeding, uterine rupture, incomplete abortion, need for surgical evacuation, infection, life-threatening sepsis, and future infertility. This can be a very difficult decision, and counseling would be very helpful for you.

Take care.
