How big should the gestational sac be suitable for medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Wondering what size of gestational sac is suitable for medication abortion? Currently 54 days pregnant

Doctor's answer:

The applicable time for medical abortion is in the early stages of pregnancy (within 49 days from the first day of the last menstrual period). Before undergoing medical abortion, it is essential to have an ultrasound examination. First, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Second, the size of the gestational sac must be measured. A gestational sac larger than 2.3 centimeters is not suitable for medical abortion.
