Is Obtaining An Abortion During 12th Week Of Pregnancy Safe?
Question: curious if I'm three months pregnant (not sure if I am or how far I am just rough guess) is it too late to get an abortion?
Brief Answer:
It is a bit late for termination.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.
If you are 3 months pregnant, it is a bit late to terminate the pregnancy. But if you wish and if legal laws permit it can be done. There are two methods available for termination at this time of pregnancy.
1. Surgical i.e. D&E
2. Medical method using prostaglandins
Consult your doctor and discuss with her to see which method suits you better.
The safest period to have termination of pregnancy is before 3 months of pregnancy. I am saying it is a bit late because you may suffer more bleeding, pain etc compared to terminations before 3 months of pregnancy.
I hope this helps. If you have further concerns do write to me. I will be happy to answer.

Brief Answer:
Get an ultrasound done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
You possibly had delayed ovulation and are pregnant now. That could be the reason for the negative pregnancy tests that you had earlier.
To find out exactly how far pregnant you are I suggest that you get an ultrasound done. Since your earlier pregnancy tests were negative I don't think you are three months pregnant.
