Patient's question:
Due to taking hormone medication orally for a while recently, my menstrual period has been delayed for a long time this month and has not arrived yet. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I have been confirmed to be five weeks pregnant. I feel sad that the medication I took previously may not be good for the fetus. Now, I don't want this child for the time being. Is it okay to have a miscarriage at five weeks of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for a follow-up examination. Explain your situation to the doctor. It is possible that the hormone-based medication you are using has no effect on the embryo, so there is no need to undergo a miscarriage. If the medication does affect the embryo's growth and development, you can still choose to have a miscarriage. You are currently five weeks pregnant, and the size of the gestational sac is just about right for medication-induced abortion. Alternatively, you can wait until you are two or three months pregnant to decide on artificial abortion.
