Can taking medication after becoming pregnant cause a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

I just carefully checked that I'm less than a month pregnant, but I don't want this child. I want to ask if taking medication right after getting pregnant can cause a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you. Just after getting pregnant, you cannot have a medication abortion. You should have an abdominal ultrasound examination at the hospital between 6 to 8 weeks of pregnancy. Once a gestational sac is seen inside the uterus, medication abortion can be used. Before the miscarriage, you should also have a vaginal discharge test to rule out vaginitis before taking medication. After the procedure, you need to rest for at least half a month, with a light diet as the foundation. Avoid catching a cold and overexerting yourself.
