hello,
i can understand your concern.
i would advise you you to get an ultrasound done first if it hasnt been done yet.
this is required to confirm that the fetus is in the uterus and there is no ectopic pregnancy. usage of mtp drugs in ectopic pregnancy would be dangerous to the lady.
once the uterine pregnancy is confirmed, mtp kit which contains drugs misoprostol and mifeprestone are used in the first trimester abortion.
the kit itself has indications of how to use it, which tablets are to be used orally and which one per vaginally.
since your girlfriend is eight weeks pregnant, this shouldnt be much problematic to her.
its better the tablets are taken under the supervision of the doctor rather than being taken at home.
once your girl friend takes the tablets , the bleeding would start and the fetus would be expelled out.
an ultra sound is advised one week later to see if all the fetus is expelled or some remnant is left behind.
kindly use any contraceptive methods in future to avoid such incidents as this leads to lots of physical and mental trauma to the female.
hope i have answered your concerns.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM
