Abortion pills can also be pushed inside the vagina. You push the Misoprostol tablets one at a time up into the vagina as far as you can using your longest finger. Lie down on your back for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the pills dissolve and enter your blood stream. Sometimes the tablets come out when your bleeding starts or if you are up and about.

This abortion method is done using tools. It is expensive. It is performed by a doctor and nurses. The actual method employed depends on the duration of your pregnancy.
Early surgical termination is done with vacuum aspiration. A fetus is not full formed and what you have is pregnancy tissue. This pregnancy tissue is sucked from the uterus using an abortion unit.
