What are the standards for a gestational sac in medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I got pregnant unexpectedly and don't want this child. I'm planning to have a medication abortion. Hello, what are the standards for the gestational sac in medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

If you have an unintended pregnancy and have chosen to have a medication abortion, you will need to have an MRI at around 35 to 40 days of pregnancy for a thorough examination. If a gestational sac is found in the uterine cavity, it proves that it is not an ectopic pregnancy, and then you can consider deciding to have a medication abortion. The best time for a medication abortion is between 35 to 49 days. Under the guidance of a doctor, you will take mifepristone and misoprostol orally. At this time, the gestational sac is usually not less than two centimeters, and medication abortion is less likely to result in residual tissue.
