Abortion pills that work
Abortion pills work really well. Exactly how well depends on how far along you are in your pregnancy when you take the medicine, and how many doses you take. Abortion pills usually work — but if they don’t, you can take more medicine or have an in-clinic abortion to complete the abortion.
If you get your abortion pills from a health care provider like Abortion pills Pretoria, they may give you a special, extra-sensitive pregnancy test to use after your abortion. You may also be able to get an ultrasound or blood test to confirm that the abortion worked. Your nurse or doctor will also talk you through everything you need to know.
Regular pregnancy tests that you get at the store and some health centers may give you a false positive result for up to 5 weeks after your abortion — that’s because it takes a while for the pregnancy hormones to leave your body, and the test can pick those up, but it doesn’t mean you’re pregnant.
However, it IS possible to get pregnant very soon after an abortion — even if pregnancy tests are coming up positive or your period hasn’t started yet. So if you’ve had sex without using birth control since having an abortion, a positive pregnancy test could mean that you’re pregnant again.
If you’re not on hormonal birth control, you should have a period within 8 weeks after your abortion. If you’re not using hormonal birth control and you don’t get your period 8 weeks after your abortion, call your doctor or a visit to abortion pills Pretoria.
