Diagnosis
To understand the safest and most feasible abortion method for you, the OBGYN suggests 2 kinds of tests: Pelvic Ultrasound: To understand the type of pregnancy and weeks in gestation. Blood and Urine Tests: To check for any comorbidities such as anemia, diabetes, low/high blood pressure, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Based on the results of both these tests and your own needs and comfort, the OBGYN suggests the best method to abort.

Medical abortion is done using a combination of two medicines- Mifepristone and Misoprostol. They are commonly known as abortion pills/ RU486/ MTP kit.
The first medicine- ‘Mifepristone’ is taken at the clinic. After that, another medicine- ‘Misoprostol’ is taken within 48 hours to cause uterine contractions and slightly open the cervix and help expulsion. It can be taken both- at home or at the clinic.
The passing of the pregnancy starts within 24 hours of taking the second medicine and takes around 7-10 days to complete.
Right after you pass the pregnancy, please arrange for a follow-up. An ultrasound exam must be taken within 15 days to ensure complete abortion. In case the abortion fails or turns uncomplete, surgical intervention is employed.
