You can take a pregnancy test about 10 to 14 days after unprotected intercourse or after a missed period for accurate results. If it has been within 3 to 5 days, emergency contraception may help prevent pregnancy; consult a doctor as soon as possible for the safest option. For ongoing protection, discuss reliable contraceptive methods with your healthcare provider.

Our second baby was not planned, so I need Mifegest Kit. Can I get it online?

Mifegest Kit is a controlled prescription medication and is not available for sale online as per health and regulatory authorities due to the risk of serious complications and unsafe self-medication if used without proper medical supervision. It is advisable to consult a gynaecologist, who will perform the necessary evaluation and tests and then recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the individual’s condition.

I am 42 days pregnant and started bleeding after taking the Unwanted kit yesterday; how long will it take for the pregnancy to fully pass, how many days will the bleeding last, and what are the do's and don'ts during this process?

After taking the Unwanted kit, the pregnancy tissue typically passes within 4 to 24 hours. Bleeding is usually heavy initially and can continue moderately for 1 to 2 weeks, followed by light spotting for up to 4 weeks. Do's: Rest, use sanitary pads, and take ibuprofen for cramps. Confirm completion with a doctor or ultrasound in 2 weeks. Don'ts: Avoid tampons, intercourse, and strenuous exercise to prevent infection. Please seek urgent care if you soak two sanitary pads per hour for two consecutive hours, or experience a high fever.

My period came on time, but the bleeding is lighter than usual and not progressing as normal. I recently had unprotected sex. Could I be pregnant? If yes, what should I do next?

Yes, it is possible to be pregnant even if you are having light bleeding that seems like a period, as early pregnancy may sometimes cause spotting or altered bleeding. Since you had unprotected sex, the most reliable next step is to take a home urine pregnancy test, ideally after a missed or unusually light period, and repeat it after a few days if it is negative but your symptoms continue. If the test is positive, or if your bleeding becomes unusual and is accompanied by pain, dizziness, or worsening symptoms, please see a doctor promptly for confirmation and further evaluation.

Can I get this Mifegest Kit online?

The Mifegest Kit is not available for online sale and should never be taken without a doctor’s prescription. It must only be used under medical supervision after proper evaluation, including confirming the pregnancy, its duration and location, and assessing overall health. Incorrect or unsupervised use can lead to serious complications, so the safest step is to consult a qualified gynaecologist for guidance and a prescription.

Is Mifegest Kit an abortion medicine?

Yes, Mifegest Kit contains Mifepristone and Misoprostol, which are used for medical termination of an early pregnancy. Mifepristone first blocks progesterone, a hormone needed to maintain pregnancy, followed by misoprostol, which causes the uterus to contract and helps expel the pregnancy tissue. It should be taken only under a doctor’s supervision after confirming the stage and location of the pregnancy. It is not an emergency contraceptive or a regular birth control method. Using it without medical guidance can be unsafe due to risks such as heavy bleeding and other complications.

Is Mifegest Kit the same as Unwanted Kit?

Mifegest Kit and Unwanted Kit are different brand names. Still, both are medical abortion kits used for the medical termination of pregnancy. However, inactive ingredients, manufacturing processes, and individual suitability may vary between brands. These medicines should be used only under the supervision of a qualified gynaecologist after proper medical evaluation, as improper use may lead to serious complications.
