Patient's question:
Since that night when I did something inappropriate with my boyfriend, I have been very worried about getting pregnant. I bought several early pregnancy tests and tested with morning urine every day. It has been more than ten days now, and today I finally got a positive result—pregnant for over ten days. What medicine can I take to have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The duration of pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, not from the time of sexual intercourse. You can decide on medication abortion within 49 days of pregnancy. The medication for medication abortion is mifepristone and misoprostol. The oral method is as follows: On the first day, take 50mg of mifepristone on an empty stomach in the morning and 25mg on an empty stomach before taking a nap at night. The second day is the same method. On the third day, take 600ug of misoprostol on an empty stomach in the morning. Generally, lower abdominal pressure and bleeding will occur again within 2 hours, and the gestational sac will be expelled. Before medication abortion, an ultrasound must be performed to confirm intrauterine pregnancy before taking the medication. Medication abortion may result in incomplete miscarriage, so an ultrasound is required 2 weeks after medication abortion to check if it is completely expelled. Wish you health!
