Does Abortion Pill Successfully Terminate Pregnancy? Know The Facts Of Abortion Pill!
Posted on Jul 07, 2007 | Comments 259
Abortion is a process of ending a pregnancy. To get an abortion, it is necessary for you to consult a doctor where certain tests will be done to confirm your pregnancy.
If pregnancy is confirmed and is below nine weeks, then abortion pill is best to expel the contents of the uterus.
Abortion pill is widely known as RU-486. RU stands for Roussel-Uclaf (the initials of the pharmaceutical company) and 486 is a lab serial number. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the abortion pill (RU-486) for use as an abortifacient.
Abortion pill is a type of abortion that can be performed using a combination of two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol. These two pills can end most pregnancies in about four hours. It is safe and effective when used within nine weeks of pregnancy.
Your doctor will explain you how mifepristone and misoprostol work in terminating a pregnancy. Depending upon your health condition, the doctor gives you a dose of mifepristone pill to take orally.
Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone levels that are needed to maintain a successful pregnancy.
Due to the blockage of this hormone, the uterine lining begins to shed, the cervix get soften and bleeding (an indication of abortion) may occur.
The bleeding may be light much like spotting towards the end of a menstrual period or heavy bleeding. In some cases, you may experience no bleeding until you take the second pill (Misoprostol).
Misoprostol, another abortion pill will be given if abortion has not occurred with mifepristone.
Misoprostol will be taken orally or inserted vaginally within 48 hours of mifepristone. It causes uterine contractions (cramps) to expel the uterine contents from the body.
The abortion pill will not recommended for you if you have certain medical conditions such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes, bleeding problems or hypertension or when fitted with an intra-uterine device. It is ineffective in the case of ectopic pregnancy.
The World Health Organization (WHO) believes that abortion pill is an effective treatment in termination of pregnancy. It is found that about 95 women out of every 100 has achieved abortion successfully with the intake of abortion pill in the first nine weeks of pregnancy.
Moreover, with abortion pill, the risk of infection is very less and maternal death is extremely low. It is relatively a cheaper, less invasive option where anesthesia is not necessary. The need of pain-killing drugs will be avoided. Also, you can successfully abort without any complication and further medical treatment.
However, with abortion pill, a continuous bleeding may occur for weeks. It is found that one out of every 300 will come across heavy bleeding with the usage of abortion pill. In some rare cases, you may develop an infection.
It is also found that abortion pill is ineffective in five women out of every 100 who take it for ending the pregnancy. Sometimes, it takes days to work.
So, you should see the doctor right away if you find heavy bleeding, infection or any complication occurring with usage of abortion pill.

any one plz reply to my question…….
hi suyanka. dont think about suicide and all. have to taken I-pill?. if yes then there will not be any problem. If no, then wait till you next periods come.if you skip the periods for a month, then only go for abortion pills. but before that check the pregnancy. Pregnancy strips are easily available and you can use them to check. See even i have a boyfriend, and even i am not getting my periods after my last sex, but there is no need to suicide and all. Just take care next time and take abortion pills.

Hi Ria,
It depends on how many days your period continued from August 3rd. Bleeding occurs for more than 2 weeks in many women. So the next period will be delayed after the abortion. You may have still time to get your periods. You can visit a gynecologist to confirm if the abortion pill has removed all the fetal parts or any pieces are left.
any 1 pls help me i m 20 yrs old i had unprotected sex wit my bf i think i m preganant if yes shall i take tat pill u all suggested if i get abortion now can i become pregnant after marriage? pls help me
and pls tell me wat shall i do if i m 10 week pregnant can any 1 suggest me low cost hospital to do abortion in bangalore…
Suni, you cannot take on your own the abortion pill. There are many complications involved with it. As you are 10 weeks pregnant, abortion pills do not work. The pills will work only up to 6 weeks. You have to go for surgical abortion. Consult a gynecologist and tell her your problem.

FIRST TRIMMSTER ABORTION-
Abortion 20 weeks se pahle tak kiya ja sakta hai jaisa ki mera anuman hai/ chalo 12 weeks ki agar pragnency hai to use is tarah trat karte hain I mean abort karte hain- area ko dhila kar k aik khali rod daal kar andar dovelop embyero k khanroch kar ua usi se destroy kar k ya sokh kar bahar nikal liya jata hai yah 10 ya 15 minut ka time leta hai bas/
aur pahle mahine me dekho ki agar MC nahi aaya hai aur aapki pragnency report positive hai to yah aik aur tarika hai ki ab aapko abortion chahiye yaani 4 ya 5 weeks me its very easy- womb me aik plastick ki aik patli si tube daal kar aur seringe se negative pressure bana kar andar ka metaril bahar kheench liya jata hai isme jyada se jyada 10 minut lagta hai/ aur yah bina anesthesia k hi kiya jata hai/
First Trimester me pills se abort karne ka tarika- PROSTAGLANDIN dava ka pryog kiya jata hai kha kar aur kuch injections hai jaise INTRAMASCULAR, INTRABINUS,
MATHROTRACSENT- Ko injection se diya jata hai fir 5 ya 7 din me patient wapas aata hai aur vagina k andar dalne k liye MISOPROSTAL ki goliyan di jati hain fir aik ya do din k andar ghar me hai yah abort ho jata hai andar jo bhi matarial bana hota hai vagina k through bahar nikal jate hain/ is dava se chakkar aa sakta hai ulti ya dyrea ho sakta hai bleeding jyada ho sakta hai 7 ya 8 din tak controll nahi hoga/is dava ko ru-486 bhi kahte hain yah antiprostrogone hota hai iska iak dose kha k 5 ya 7 din baad misoprostal ki goliya vagina me daalo 3 ya 4 ghante me periods k saath sab khatm ho sakta hai/ jyada dard nahi hota hai bas thora sa hota hai /

The duration of your pregnancy is 49 days. Why don’t you do a pregnancy test. These tests are easily available at the pharmacy stores and you can do it at your own. These tests are more than 95% accurate. You do not want to continue with the pregnancy then you must act fast. In the early period (upto 63 days) of pregnancy you can choose abortion pills. check out http://www.pregstop.com or http://www.womenontheweb.org
Take care.

Pepper spray? I never heard about it. Dear Ahmed, I suggest that you get and ultrasound done before considering abortion options.
I mean “pepper tester” and not “pepper spray” in my earlier post. Sorry.
Well, you think of pepper spray when you think of pepper ! No?
