Brief Answer: EXPLAINED BELOW Detailed Answer: Going by the date of your last menstrual period, you are now exactly 5 weeks pregnant. First and foremost, there is no NATURAL way to abort , nor is it safe and legal to do so. You MUST consult a gynaecologist and only then proceed for abortion. There are various reasons for this, which I will explain to you in detail. 1. The pregnancy must be confirmed by a doctor, apart from a home test kit. Rarely, there are chances of ectopic pregnancy ( pregnancy outside the uterus ) which can be life threatening for you. 2. THe pregnancy should be accurately dated, as the medical abortion pills work only within a narrow time frame. 3. The pills should be taken by prescription and under guidance from a doctor. Generally one tablet of Mifepristone followed by 4 tablets of Misoprostol are taken . Mifepristone is oral and Misoprostol is given vaginally / orally. On taking the pills, you would have heavy bleeding with cramps, expulsion of a fleshy mass within 24 - 48 hours, which might continue for a week , or more. If you vomit the pills, repeat dosage is required. There is always 4 % chance of failure, in which case , you will need surgical abortion. Risks such as severe bleeding, infection, hypotension, fainting , incomplete abortion etc are present, so please do not attempt to do anything on your own without consulting your doctor. 4. As you are 5 weeks pregnant, the pills should work fine for you. Do NOT go for any other natural / homeopathic / quack treatment / home treatment as it is risky for your life to do so. 5. After completing the course of medical abortion pills, a follow up visit and ultrasound scan after 15 days is compulsory to document that the abortion was complete and there is nothing retained inside the uterine cavity. 6. Please use reliable method of contraception in future to avoid risk of abortion. All the best PLease feel free to discuss further.

Brief Answer: GET TRANSVAGINAL ULTRASOUND SCAN DONE. Detailed Answer: It could be a miscarriage. ONly an ultrasound scan will confirm. Please get a pelvic ultrasound scan done vaginally, not abdominally . Then upload the reports to me.
