Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m on my 7th week of pregnancy and I have been trying different kinds of natural abortion because I can t afford the pills, before I reached my 8th week I would like to try taking ibuprofen to have abortion will i be able to have a successful abortion and how many dose I need to have a successful abortion?
Hi, very sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately unwanted pregnancy termination may not be successful with Ibuprofen. You will require misoprostol and mifepristone pills which are meant for pregnancy termination in early stage. However it is recommended to rule out any kind of ectopic pregnancy ( fertalisation not in the uterus) before taking the pills to avoid unwanted complications. You can go for Ultrasound abdomen to know the status of your pregnancy. Regards
