Patient's question:
I cheated on my boyfriend by eating the forbidden fruit, and now I've received God's punishment—I'm unexpectedly pregnant. But I'm also reluctant to see the surgical knife and don't want to lie on the cold operating table. I want to take some medicine to terminate the pregnancy. My boyfriend and I started dating two months ago. Is medication abortion possible now?Doctor's answer:
If you got pregnant two months ago, it is definitely no longer possible to have a medication abortion now, because medication abortion is time-sensitive. This generally requires being within 49 days of pregnancy, and this 49-day pregnancy period is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period. So in your current situation, you should be already 12 weeks pregnant. You must go to the hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible. If you are less than 12 weeks pregnant, you can have an artificial abortion, but if you are less than 12 weeks pregnant, you must have an induction abortion.
