Is it okay to have an abortion after being pregnant for one month?

Patient's question:

I feel comfortable with my boyfriend without my parents knowing, but the other day, my boyfriend and I didn't take any contraceptive measures. Later, I realized it wasn't the safe period, so I quickly took emergency contraception. However, I feel a bit uncomfortable, and I'm a bit worried. I want to ask if it's okay to have an abortion after being pregnant for a month.

Doctor's answer:

If your menstrual cycle is regular, the best time to have a medication abortion is within 49 days of your missed period. You can have a detailed ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages at the hospital after 40 days of your missed period. The main purpose is to confirm whether the gestational sac is inside the uterine cavity, and then to determine the best time to take the medication. In your case, you can wait and see if your menstrual cycle is delayed by about five days, and then use a pregnancy test kit to check first.
