You have a six week pregnancy. Termination of a six week pregnancy requires the opinion of a doctor in favor of the abortion. The pregnancy can be terminated medically with mifepristone (a progesterone antagonist) or misoprostol (a prostaglandin E1 analog). These are effective medications.

However, there are instances when the abortion is incomplete and dilatation and curettage is required. The retained products of conception can also cause infection. Hence, it is best for you to consult a gynecologist.
