Hello
thank you for your query.
Firstly, you need to visit a gynecologist and confirm the pregnancy.
Then exact dating of pregnancy has to be done by ultrasound, and confirmed that it is intra uterine.
Based on weeks of pregnancy, the gynecologist will advise medical / surgical abortion.
Follow up visit to confirm that abortion is complete is mandatory.
In absence of these steps, you have risk of severe bleeding, infection, rupture of ectopic pregnancy, retained products etc.
Take care.
