When can I do medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I got pregnant unexpectedly, but I don't want this child. I want to have a medication abortion to terminate it. When can I have a medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

If it is an unintended pregnancy now and you do not want the child, then the decision to undergo an abortion or medication abortion depends on the current gestational age. If the pregnancy is less than 50 days, medication abortion can be considered. If it is below 50 days, surgical abortion is necessary, as medication abortion is no longer viable.
