I'm really worried because I'm about 12 weeks into my pregnancy and I feel like I need to consider my options. Is there an abortion pill available in my country's pharmacies that I could get without having to see a doctor? I realize it was a mistake, and I'm looking for advice on what medication might be safe.

For a medical abortion within the first 9 weeks of pregnancy, you can consider taking a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Mifepristone is usually taken first, followed by Misoprostol 24-48 hours later. Please consult with a healthcare provider for proper guidance on the dosage and administration.

I've taken misoprostol today at 11 amtwo tablets of 200 mg eachbut there's no bleeding yet. Then, I took another two tablets around 7 pm. How long should I expect to wait before the bleeding starts? I'm getting a bit worried and would really appreciate some advice on what's normal in this situation.
After taking misoprostol, bleeding typically starts within 1-4 hours, but it can take up to 24 hours; since you took the second dose at 7 pm, you may experience bleeding within the next 12-24 hours; however, if you haven't bled or experienced severe symptoms like heavy bleeding, severe pain, or fever, consult your gynaecologist

Which is the better option for removing the uterus traditional surgery or laparoscopic surgery? Also, what's the average cost for this procedure in private hospitals in Bhopal? I'm a bit worried about recovery time and complications, so any advice would help
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is generally preferred over traditional open surgery for uterus removal due to faster recovery, less pain, and fewer complications. The cost of a laparoscopic hysterectomy in Bhopal can range from INR 60,000 to INR 1,50,000, with an average cost of around INR 1,00,000. Recovery time is typically shorter for laparoscopic hysterectomies, with most women returning to normal activities within a few weeks.
