Brief Answer: First confirm pregnancy Detailed Answer: Hello and thanks for choosing the forum, I understand your issue and your problem. I will first inform you about your chances of having a pregnancy and then about the options. Her last menstrual period was on 12 February and the day of sexual episode was 23rd February that is day 11 of the cycle. For a female with regular 30 days cycle, this is just the beginning of the fertile period. So the chances that she was ovulating at that time and pregnancy are low. Also if you are sure you did not ejaculate inside the chances are lower still. Another issue is that if she has 30 days periods, as February has 28 days the periods may come two days late in March. Now regarding abortificient medicines. All abortificient medicines are associated with some side effects and must be taken strictly under medical supervision. A confirmation of pregnancy is a must. A gynec examination to rule out that the pregnancy is indeed inside the uterus and not elsewhere [ like in the tubes or ovaries, ectopic pregnancy] is very important as is abortificients are taken by such women the results are catastrophic. Now about Mensovit plus: This is not an approved drug by FDA for abortion. Even the contents of the tablet are not listed. In my experience, such drugs do not provide any help and may produce adverse effects that we may never anticipate. So such drugs are better avoided. Having said all this I would suggest that you wait for upto 7 days after her missed period that is till March 21. Please do not assume that she may be pregnant as the chances that she may not be pregnant are higher. If there are no periods even after 7-10 days, get a urine pregnancy test done using the first morning sample of urine. A blood test for pregnancy will come positive now, but is more expensive and you will need to visit a pathology if you want to get it done. I f the test is positive, you must visit a gynecologist doctor in some other area and explain the situation. Abortificient drugs can be taken upto 49 days of pregnancy counting from February 12. Please do not go to any local unskilled person as complications may occur that you may not be able to handle. You will be safe with a gynecologist skilled in her job. For your future, I suggest that if an unexpected episode occurs in future, it is wise to use emergency contraception like I pill or Plan B to avoid such situations. Also use of condoms if sexual contact is regular as it also prevents against infections. Please do not worry as the chances are low. Just wait for a few days and ask her not to get stressed as stress delays periods. I am always here to help if needed. Hope I was able to provide an answer. Thanks and feel free to ask any more queries. Have a good day. Dr Madhuri Bagde Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist

Brief Answer: Wait till 21st march. Detailed Answer: Hello and thanks again, If the test comes positive you will have to visit a gynecologist. The drugs for abortion cannot be prescribed online. There are certain guidelines that doctors have to follow and also legal issues. The protocol is that the patient has to be evaluated, the presence of pregnancy inside the uterus has to be confirmed [sometimes pregnancy occurs in tubes and if abortificients are used then the patient may even die], the reason for abortion justified and then a prescription can be made if the patient is fit for a medical abortion. There also has to be a setup where surgical abortion may be performed in case of failed medical means. The reason I provide these details to you is that you must understand that there are some guidelines under which we all work and these guidelines have been designed for the safety of the patient. So please understand all these issues. So unfortunately I will not be able to provide the prescription online. But having said that, drugs are available and they can be used up to 49 days and extended protocol up to 63 days [ but chances of failure are slightly more with 63 days] as I have already said and that means you will need to visit a gynecologist to get them. I can inform you which drugs will most likely be used but cannot mention the doses and recommend their use. The commonly used drugs are mifepristone and misoprostol and they are not available over the counter. Also I had advised you to wait till atleast 21st march before the test comes positive, so 3 days will not do. If you want an earlier report you will need a blood test. It will come positive now. Please do not get anxious. Medical abortions are safe in safe hands. So go to a gynecologist if the test is positive. These are common issues that we deal with routinely. So there is no need for a hesitation. The doctors do understand the problem and most of us are extremely cooperative as we understand that these issues are sensitive. Hope this provided an answer. Thanks for choosing HCM. Take care. Dr Madhuri Bagde
