The doctor said the child is too young. Can a 108cm miscarriage be done with medication?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital to ask about medication abortion, but the doctor said the baby was too small, 108Cm. She told me to wait longer, but I'm afraid of missing the medication abortion window.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this medication abortion is slightly less harmful than surgical abortion. However, about 20% of people undergoing medication abortion may have residual tissue, which might require a D&C (dilation and curettage), and D&C is more harmful.
For surgical abortion, the harm is greater than medication abortion but less than D&C. The price is also slightly higher than medication abortion. There are pros and cons to each.
