Brief Answer:
unplanned pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,


This is an abortion kit . I hope you have already confirmed your pregnancy to be intrauterine or inside the uterus and not an ectopic pregnancy. If not, then before even considering taking it, please get an ultrasound pelvis done to check for the location of pregnancy. It doesn't work in ectopic pregnancy.

Secondly, if pregnancy test is negative , and if you wish to get your menses, then this is not the drug combination you should be choosing at all. There are other meds for progesterone withdrawal to get a bleed.

Please get an ultrasound done first. Consuming these without a gynecologist supervision can often lead to serious bleeding complications and often severe pain, so please use it under a gyn supervision.
