Patient's question:
I don't know exactly when I got pregnant, as the menstrual period had just ended when we had sexual intercourse. From when should I start counting the initial day of pregnancy? Can medication abortion be performed after being pregnant for a certain period of time? Are the side effects severe? Sincerely thank you.Hello, how long after getting pregnant can one decide to have a medication abortion? High-quality collection
Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should start counting from the first day of your last menstrual period. You can only use the medication abortion method within 49 days. The general side effects are not severe, but medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.Intercourse right after your period has ended usually results in very low chances of pregnancy. You should check your morning urine to see if it's positive with a pregnancy test kit. If it shows a positive result, then you are pregnant. For medication abortion, it's necessary to check your progesterone levels in the blood before taking the medication. Sometimes medication abortion may not be fully effective, so it's important to minimize the risk of miscarriage and protect your health.
It's recommended to visit a regular hospital in your area for an abortion.
