Hello
Thanks for your query.
The first step lies in confirming the pregnancy.
If your wife has irregular periods, then you cannot rely on a home pregnancy test kit.
So you need to consult a gynecologist who would examine her and confirm a pregnancy.
IF pregnant, and you wish to go for a termination, then you would be offered the choice between a medical and surgical abortion based on the findings .
Take care
