I'm 9 weeks pregnant and need to terminate because I'm not married and my boyfriend wants an abortion. Are there any pills I can take for a medical abortion or do I have to get surgery? I really prefer pills since nobody knows about my pregnancy and I want to keep it private. Can you help me figure out my options?

Mifepristone is taken first, and it works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for maintaining pregnancy. Misoprostol is taken later and causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. Medical abortions are typically only recommended for pregnancies up to 10 weeks

Does follicular study show blocked fallopian tubes?

A follicular study can not determine whether the fallopian tube is blocked. If the fallopian tube is blocked, you will still ovulate. Ovulation is mainly the function of ovary.
