To get the accurate age of a pregnancy, one is supposed to COUNT FROM THE FIRST DAY of the last menstrual period date , to the current day.

(and NOT FROM CONCEPTION DATE or when one was intimate)

This is usually quoted in weeks.

Most importantly, the ABORTION PILLS are safe to use at home ONLY if the pregnancy is below 12weeks.

What if there is no bleeding after using the medicine?

Lack of bleeding simply means that the process has FAILED.
This can either be due to using wrong drugs, wrong dose used, Using through a wrong route or maybe the body failing to respond to the effects of the medicine.

Incase there is minimal bleeding or No bleeding, it can cause an incomplete abortion which can cause life threatening issues like pelvic infection (PID) and if not treated, can cause infertility.

Most effective is when one uses a combination of 2 drugs, Mifepristone and Misoprostol has over 98% effective rate than using one type of drug Misoprostol only which is effective to only 85%

How long does Abortion pills take to complete the Process?

✔️a medical abortion is a two-step process. You take mifepristone first, then misoprostol. Most people start cramping and heavy bleeding within 30 minutes to a few hours after the misoprostol, and for most the procedure is complete within 6-12 hours, it can take up to a few days for bleeding and tissue to finish.

⏩what to expect

Step 1 — Mifepristone: taken at the clinic (or prescribed). This blocks progesterone and prepares the uterus and the cervix.

Wait 1-2 days

Step 2 — Misoprostol: you take this at home. This causes uterine contractions that expel the pregnancy. You’ll usually get strong cramping and heavy bleeding soon after — often within 30 minutes–4 hours. Most abortions finish in 6–12 hours, bleeding generally lasts a week on average. And to some people, Light bleeding/spotting can continue until your next period.

How long total?
From first tablet (mifepristone) to when the heavy part is over: typically 1–3 days, with the most intense part occurring after the misoprostol and usually resolving within hours but possibly taking several days to fully complete.

When to Worry⚠️

✔️Heavy bleeding soaking two large pads per hour for 2 hours.
✔️Fever lasting more than 24 hours.
✔️Severe unrelieved pain, fainting, or signs of infection (bad smelling discharge).
✔️NO Bleeding at all

What to Note📝

Effectiveness and dose required depends depend on how far along the pregnancy and ONLY used if a pregnancy is below ~12 weeks).

12/09/2025

Short answer: a safe abortion is one that uses a WHO-recommended method, is appropriate for how far along the pregnancy is, and is performed or fully supported by a person with the necessary clinical skills in an environment that meets basic medical standards — so the risk of serious complications is minimal.

What “safe” means (plain terms)

The method used is recommended by the World Health Organization (examples: medication abortion with mifepristone ± misoprostol in early pregnancy; vacuum aspiration; or dilation & evacuation later in pregnancy) and matches the pregnancy gestational age.

The person providing the care has the necessary training and skills.

The setting meets basic medical standards (clean instruments, ability to treat complications, access to follow-up care).

Why this matters

When any of the above elements are missing, the procedure becomes less safe or unsafe — which increases the risk of severe bleeding, infection, infertility, or death. Unsafe abortions are mostly seen where legal, financial, geographic or social barriers limit access to quality care.

Practical advice (if you or someone needs care)

Seek care from a licensed clinic, hospital or trained provider. If medication abortion is being used, follow the provider’s instructions exactly.

Make a plan to access emergency care if needed. Go to emergency services if there is very heavy bleeding (soaking a pad every hour for 2+ hours), high fever, severe abdominal pain, fainting, or foul-smelling discharge.

Ask about contraception before leaving the service so you can avoid another unintended pregnancy.

Stay Safe!

Choosing medical vs. surgical abortion really comes down to your gestational age, health, and personal preference. Here’s some tips to help one decide:

🟢 Choose Medical Abortion if:

✔️You are early in pregnancy (less than 12 weeks).
✔️You want a more natural, private process that happens at home.
✔️You’re okay with heavier bleeding, cramping, and a longer process (hours to days).
✔️You can access a clinic if follow-up care is needed (in case it’s incomplete).

🟢 Choose Surgical Abortion if:

✔️You are between 4weeks-below 16 weeks pregnant.
✔️You want the procedure to be quick (10–20 minutes) and highly effective.
✔️You’d prefer less bleeding afterward and fewer follow-up visits.
✔️You have health issues that make medical abortion less safe (e.g., severe anemia, certain heart/liver/adrenal conditions).

You already tried a medical abortion and it was incomplete.

⚖️ In summary:

If you are early in pregnancy and prefer privacy → Medical abortion.

If you are later in pregnancy, want something fast, or want the highest certainty → Surgical abortion.

Our doors as usual are open, reach out, let's talk either via inbox option or WhatsApp on the best option that suits you!

Abortion pills (usually a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol) are generally safe when used correctly under medical guidance, but like any medication, they can cause side effects. These can vary depending on the stage of pregnancy, dosage, and individual health.

✔️Heavy bleeding (heavier than a period, with clots) – usually lasts a few hours to a few days.
✔️Cramping and abdominal pain – stronger than menstrual cramps.
✔️Nausea and vomiting
✔️Diarrhea
✔️Fever, chills, or sweats (often temporary after misoprostol).
✔️Fatigue and general weakness.

Less Common but Possible Side Effects

✔️Headache
✔️Dizziness
✔️Breast tenderness
✔️Mild allergic reactions (rash, itching)

Serious Risks (Require Medical Attention)

Although rare, complications can happen:

❌Excessive bleeding (soaking more than 2 pads per hour for 2+ hours).
❌Severe abdominal pain not relieved by medication.
❌High fever (above 38°C / 100.4°F) lasting more than 24 hours.
❌Foul-smelling vaginal discharge (possible infection).
