Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

First, you have to check urine for pregnancy. The pregnancy test will be positive from the next day after the missed periods. So, you should get two lines if pregnant, now. Once confirmed, have a scan to confirm the location of pregnancy. MTP (medical termination of pregnancy) kit will dislodge the pregnancy if it is intrauterine. So, its location has to be confirmed whether inside uterus or not. Unfortunately, if it is in the tube, then management is different. Once intrauterine pregnancy is confirmed, then you can use MTP kit any day sequentially. It is most effective up to 12 weeks of pregnancy, earlier lesser the bleeding. You have a lot of time, so do not be in a hurry.
