Tablet manufacturers claim that their tool has several functions. Postinor components block the ovulation process, affecting the fertilization process, and also prevents the implantation of an already fertilized egg. After taking Postinor, bleeding is observed - rejection of the mucous layer of the uterus along with the dead embryo. The drug Escapel has a similar effect.

The Postinor package contains two tablets, which include levonorgestrel. The first tablet should be taken within two days, after twelve hours the second is taken.

Home miscarriage - someone is afraid of him like a fire, and someone dreams of him, it's no secret that pregnancy is not always desired. Well, the publicity that may follow an abortion in honey. institution, no one wants. Therefore, the question arises - what can provoke a miscarriage at home from improvised and medications. We will list the main ways, as well as what such amateur performance can lead to.

What not to do and what is unlikely to help

1. Taking a hot bath. This can lead to fainting if you sit in the bath for even a few minutes. But that's just not because of the increase blood pressure, contrary to popular belief, but, on the contrary, its lowering. When heated, the vessels expand, the pressure drops, and the blood supply to the brain is disrupted.

2. Bay leaf. Medicine does not know what can happen with a large use of bay leaves. Most likely an allergic reaction.

3. Milk with iodine or sugar with iodine. It is forbidden! This can do a lot of damage thyroid gland, its functions, and this negative effect may be irreversible.

4. Jump, do exhausting sports training. Sometimes it can cause a miscarriage at home. But don't experiment. Even if you start bleeding, it’s not at all a fact that the miscarriage will be complete and you won’t have to do a “uterine cleansing” afterwards. By the way, this applies to all "home methods". Well, we must not forget that excessive loads negatively affect the heart. There may be an attack, and even with a lethal (fatal) outcome. Behind Last year from heart failure due to physical activity, namely sports, several athletes and schoolchildren have died in Russia.

5. Drink a decoction of tansy. This herb is quite toxic and can cause malformations in the embryo. This is one moment. Another - tansy causes uterine bleeding. But a miscarriage may not happen. Meanwhile, uterine bleeding is very dangerous. And again, in many cases it is possible to stop them only by "cleansing the uterus." That is, we return to surgical abortion again. Also to the minus of tansy can be attributed to it Negative influence on the liver, heart and kidneys.

6. Take oxytocin. This drug belongs to those that contribute to the smoothing and opening of the cervix. Used for weak labor activity, as well as after childbirth and abortion for rapid recovery (reduction) of the uterus. It is not used for medical abortion and has many side effects, including severe uterine bleeding, jumps in blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, etc.

7. Take emergency contraception. There are drugs that, if taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, reliably protect against the onset unwanted pregnancy. And the most modern of these drugs (there are many) are those that block the action of progesterone at the receptor level. Thus, the onset of ovulation is inhibited, the preparation of the endometrium to receive a fertilized egg, its implantation becomes impossible. The drug about which in question contains the active ingredient mifepristone. And it really leads to the cessation of the development of the embryo, its death. But just 10mg, that's the dosage of an emergency contraceptive drug, isn't enough to cause a miscarriage. This fact is reflected in the instructions for the drug. Yes, and one mifepristone is not enough to terminate a pregnancy. We will talk about this further.

8. Accept a large number of ascorbic acid, eat a lot of lemon or parsley. To the question “is it possible to have a home miscarriage and, if possible, how exactly”, many women say that it is ascorbic acid. Such experiments are dangerous. uterine bleeding. Yes, and for the stomach so much "acid" is harmful.

Medical termination of pregnancy

If you are looking for a way to make a miscarriage at home with pills, then this information is just for you.

Medical abortion can be done up to 42 days of amenorrhea. That is, with a delay in menstruation by no more than 14 days. The medicines used for medical abortion, mifepristone and misoprostol, are provided by a licensed clinic. medical abortion. The first drug leads to the death of the embryo, and the second - to the opening of the cervix and its spasm, mini labor activity.

It should be noted that miscarriage with the use of only one of these drugs will not work. And they are not freely sold in pharmacies. However, there are individuals who break the law and offer to purchase these drugs via the Internet. We would not recommend such a risk - to buy medicines from them. It is not known what kind of drugs, what quality they will send (bring) to you, and complications are possible, you should not try to cause an abortion without a doctor. The sellers of these illegal drugs will not tell you what to do if a miscarriage occurs at home or, on the contrary, does not work out if it starts heavy bleeding or pain. And the doctor will guide you all these days, if necessary, help and advise.

Medical abortion is performed in 3 stages. After a brief examination, which includes taking the patient's history and ultrasonography uterus, the woman takes 3 tablets (600 mg) of mifepristone, which are given to her by the doctor, in his presence, in the clinic. After that, he stays there for 2 hours and then goes home. But only 50% of patients have a miscarriage immediately after taking mifepristone. Therefore, a second drug is also needed.

Misoprostol is also taken after a visit to the doctor (these are 2-4 tablets). After this, contractions usually begin and a miscarriage occurs. Pain can be quite noticeable, so you should discuss with your doctor the possibility of using painkillers.

7-10 days after the miscarriage, the woman does an ultrasound of the uterus. If there are remains membranes, or the embryo continues to develop in spite of everything - they do vacuum aspiration. The child should not be left after taking mifepristone. Because of this, he may have malformations.

But, in any case, the consequences of a miscarriage at home, carried out correctly, with medication, are not as serious as those that may be after surgical abortion. Pregnancy can occur as early as the next menstrual cycle, immediately. In principle, this is not contraindicated, but some doctors recommend postponing new pregnancy 1-2 months.
