I am 31 years old and found out I missed my periods which was 23rd date. Then I done the pregnancy test and it was positive.Due to personal reasons, I cannot continue this pregnancy. My friend suggested abortion pills (Termipil kit). Is it safe to use without consulting a doctor? How to take the dose.

If your pregnancy test is positive and you do not wish to continue the pregnancy, it is important to consult a gynecologist before taking any abortion pills. A doctor will usually confirm the pregnancy duration and location, often with an ultrasound, to make sure there are no conditions such as an ectopic pregnancy that could make self treatment dangerous.
We do not recommend taking abortion pills based only on a friend’s advice or using them without medical supervision. The correct treatment depends on your pregnancy stage and medical history. Taking the medicines incorrectly can lead to heavy bleeding, infection, incomplete abortion, or a continuing pregnancy. A gynecologist can guide you on the safest option and the necessary follow up care.
