How long must you take the Abortion Pill for?

Question

I am not talking about the morning after pill. I am talking about the pill where you can take it within like 7 or 8 weeks. Do you just take 1 pill and thats it, or do you take it over a certain amount of days?

Thanks

Answer 1

I guess you can take it within the first 8-9 weeks. Here's info from http://www.fwhc.org/abortion/medical-ab.htm on how the actual treatment works:

"The Abortion Pill (brand name Mifeprex) is a form of early abortion caused by the combination of two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol. Also known as RU486, mifepristone has been used safely in Europe for many years. The Abortion Pill is an early abortion option for women who are 8 weeks pregnant or less. During the first appointment at the clinic you receive the mifepristone pill to take orally. Then 24 to 72 hours later, in the privacy of your own home, you take the misoprostol medication as directed by your clinic (vaginally or buccally). Misoprostol causes contractions resulting in a miscarriage. When used in combination, mifepristone and misoprostol are 95-97% effective within two weeks. Mifepristone and misoprostol are FDA approved."

I think I would prefer taking a pill over the surgical procedure any day.

And don't pay attention to those rude, confrontational idiots who give you crap and call you names because they can't think of anything more intelligent to say and don't know how to read any book except the Bible. Best luck and be careful. Talk to your doctor about the birth control pill for the future. It's really super and extremely effective when taken correctly.

Answer 2

In case you are indeed pregnant, the abortion capsule is dependable and mighty as much as 9 weeks from your final menstrual period. If extra time than that has elapsed, you're going to ought to get a surgical abortion as a substitute. You don't need to wait to take the abortion pill- as quickly as that you could medically verify that you are pregnant, that you could have the medicine abortion with the aid of capsule. If you are talking about emergency contraception- the morning-after capsule that you're taking after you had unprotected sex or your general contraception failed- you have three days in which it works to avoid pregnancy from taking situation. Hope that helps!

Answer 3

while you're certainly pregnant, the abortion pill is risk-free and robust as much as 9 weeks out of your final menstrual era. If extra time than that has elapsed, you will might desire to get a surgical abortion somewhat. you do not might desire to attend to take the abortion pill- as quickly as you could medically ensure which you're pregnant, you will have the medicine abortion by pill. once you're speaking approximately emergency birth control- the morning-after pill which you're taking once you had unprotected intercourse or your wide-unfold birth control failed- you have 3 days wherein it works to keep away from being pregnant from happening. wish that facilitates!

Answer 4

The "abortion pill" regimen consists of two chemicals. The first chemical interferes with the production of a hormone needed to maintain the lining of your womb. As the lining begins to break down, your son or daughter's nutrients are cut off, and he or she starves to death. A second chemical is then given to cause hard contractions which will push your dead baby out of your body. The entire process takes an average of 9 days. Bleeding is excessive and pain is severe. Sometimes, parts of the baby are left inside your body, where they will rot and possibly cause life-threatening infections. This is what killed 18-year-old Holly Patterson in California a few years ago. At least 11 women have died so far after taking the abortion pill. Here are the details:

Surgical abortion carries risks as well (some of these risks apply to both chemical and surgical abortions):

Medical Abortion (Abortion by pill)
The medical abortion is a non-surgical option available to women who are no more than eight weeks into the pregnancy (dating from the first day of the last normal menstrual period). It is a safe and effective method of ending pregnancy using a combination of medications. The Knoxville Center for Reproductive Health offers Mifeprex (mifepristone) in combination with Misoprostol. Mifeprex (previously known as RU-486) is a progesterone hormone blocker that causes changes in the uterine lining, and stops the development of the pregnancy. Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.

The combination of 200mg of oral Mifeprex, followed in 10-48 hours by 800mcg of Misoprostol vaginally, is an evidence-based treatment regimen that has been proven more effective and to cause fewer side effects than the regimen approved by the FDA. Studies show this regimen to be approximately 98% effective up to the 49th day of pregnancy, and approximately 95% effective up to the 56th day of pregnancy. Medical abortions beyond 49 days may be associated with a slightly higher rate of complications such as excessive bleeding, incomplete abortions, and ongoing pregnancy.

The Medical Abortion Procedure
The physician administers the first medication, a 200mg tablet of Mifeprex, which you take by mouth at the Center. You may or may not develop bleeding and/or nausea after taking this medication. You will receive a packet of four Misoprostol suppositories to take home with you for later use. You will also be provided with Phenergan tablets (for nausea) and a prescription for pain medication as well as a packet of antibiotics. You will insert the Misoprostol suppositories at home, as early as ten hours after taking the Mifeprex, and no later than 48 hours after taking the Mifeprex. Once you have inserted the Misoprostol suppositories, you should plan to be at home with no responsibilities for at least 24 hours. You will likely begin to experience bleeding, passing of blood clots, and cramping within a few hours of inserting the Misoprostol. The amount of bleeding and cramping varies greatly from one patient to the next. The heaviest bleeding usually begins as the pregnancy is moving out of the body, and lasts for two to three hours. Typically this bleeding exceeds that of a normal menstrual period, but will subside to a flow similar to a normal menstrual period after the pregnancy has been passed from the body. The average duration of bleeding is 9 to 16 days, though you may experience some bleeding for four to five weeks. Cramping can be quite painful at times. You can expect to pass blood clots that range in size from very small to quite large (the size of golf balls or oranges). Although the pregnancy is very small at this stage, you may see tissue, including the pregnancy and the lining from the uterus, passing from your vagina. Most women will pass the pregnancy from their body within 24 hours of inserting the Misoprostol suppositories. In a small number of cases, it can take weeks for the pregnancy to be expelled. A follow-up exam is required three to four weeks following treatment, to ensure that the abortion is complete. Occasionally, additional treatment and testing is required either at the time of the follow-up, or after the follow-up exam. Heavy bleeding and the passage of blood clots may be experienced after the follow-up exam. In addition, your next menstrual period may be heavier than normal, and include passing more blood clots. Each of your visits to the Center are extremely important. Failure to complete any part of the treatment can endanger your health. If you fail to return for your follow-up or fail to provide follow-up documentation from another physician, we will contact you by phone or mail.

Safety and Risks
The medical abortion is very safe and effective. However, as with any medical treatment, some risks are involved.
