A member asked:

I want to know if i can undergo a medical abortion at 5 weeks cos the doctor i met told me to wait for 8 weeks which is better with less risk?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

8 weeks: You don't want to go it before 8 weeks, because there is more of a risk of failure to terminate it.
