Is taking abortion pills at home safe if I'm only 2 weeks pregnant? A doctor recommended surgery but I was hoping for an oral treatment instead. I need advice on what to do as soon as possible

Medication abortion (or medical abortion) is a safe, reliable and non-surgical means of abortion for people who have made an informed decision that is is the best option for them. Medication abortion is an alternative to surgical abortion in the early weeks of pregnancy (up to 9 weeks)

I've been told I need laparoscopic surgery to remove a dermoid cyst on my left ovary it's currently 3.2x3 cm. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year, and I'm unsure if I should get the surgery before getting pregnant. Is this cyst size big enough to require removal, or can I wait? What are the risks if I delay surgery?

Question

I'm worried because I've been experiencing prolonged bleeding for the past two weeks following my medical abortion. Could there be a specific reason why this bleeding hasn't stopped?
