Can you have a medication abortion at thirty days pregnant?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you can have a medication abortion within 49 days of pregnancy. However, before undergoing a medication abortion, you must first have an ultrasound to confirm whether your pregnancy is intrauterine. Only after ruling out ectopic pregnancy can the abortion proceed.
There is no such thing as good or bad medication for medication abortion. Currently, the drugs used for abortion are misoprostol and mifepristone, which are used together.
It is best to have a medication abortion in a hospital because it may cause heavy bleeding or incomplete abortion, in which case an emergency D&C (dilation and curettage) may be necessary.
