You have to go to a doctor to have an ultrasound before continuing. An ultrasound is important because it can determine the length of a pregnancy. It is important to get an accurate estimate because a medical abortion should only be done in the first 9 weeks of a pregnancy.
An ultrasound can also diagnose when the fetus develops outside of the womb, also called an ectopic pregnancy. Treatment of an ectopic pregnancy is necessary to protect the health of the woman. Gynaecologists treat women for this condition in all countries, even in countries where abortion is illegal.
There is no way a pregnancy test can tell if you have an ectopic pregnancy. The ultrasound is the only way to determine whether or not you have this condition. The medical abortion cannot cure an ectopic pregnancy.
You can come back to the website after you have an ultrasound.
