Does planned parenthood abort at 8 weeks?

Yes some clinics do. In some states a surgical abortion is only allowed at a hospital. A medical abortion has a 9 week limit so contact the clinic you want to go to since not all PPL perform abortions.RU-486 - Mifeprex (The Abortion Pill)Mifeprex blocks the action of the hormone progesterone, which is needed to maintain the lining of the uterus and provides oxygen and nutrients for the embryo.Without it, the embryo dies. Mifeprex is used in conjunction with the drug Cytotec (misoprostol) which is taken two days after Mifeprex, causing the uterus to contract and empty. The pregnant woman first visits the abortionistto obtain the Mifeprex pills, returns two days later to receive misoprostol, and a third time to verify that the abortion is complete.Vacuum AspirationIn this first trimester procedure, the doctor numbs the cervix and slowly dilate it to the size of a straw and then gently suck the embryo out. The noise of the machine makes it sound rough but no one can roughly suck anything out of a uterus without hurting the woman.Dilation and Suction Curettage (D&C) can be done if the uterus failed to expell the embryo.This is similar to the vacuum aspiration but a curette is used to scrape the walls of the uterus.


Why would a woman most probably take the controversial drug mifepristone also known as RU-486 or Mifeprex?

To end a pregnancy. Mifepristone at a lower dose is also available in some Asian countries for use as emergency contraception.


How much Clorox bleach should you drank if you want to induce a miscarriage?

OMG! Don't do this! You could die or at the very least DESTROY your body! If you want to terminate without having a surgical abortion, you can have a medical abortion (a doctor gives you Mifeprex and Misoprostol which will cause you to miscarry).


What is Mifeprex RU-486?

Mifepex is the brand name for mifepristone, which is a Progesterone and Glucocorticoid Antagonist. It is mainly used in Medical Abortions as it causes a decrease in progesterone, which results in detachment of the blastocysts from the endometrial lining of the cervix. It's commonly given with a PDE1 to allow expulsion from the uterus, as well. Mifepristone at a lower dose is also available in some Asian countries for use as emergency contraception.


If you take Mifeprex can the baby still be born and healthy?

Mifprex aka the abortion pill RU486 can be taken up to week 7 and makes the fetus let go of the uterus wall. So no I don't think so. If you take it later in the pregnancy though I don't know. It might cause bleedings and hurt the fetus. There have been cases where the abortion failed and the baby was born fine but don't count on it.


Can misoprostol be used independently without mifeprex?

Misoprostol can be used alone for medical abortion, though it is less effective than when used in combination with mifepristone. When used alone, misoprostol may still be effective in terminating a pregnancy, but the success rate is generally lower and it might require higher doses and more frequent administration. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before using misoprostol independently for abortion.


Is there any tablet to terminate two days pregnancy?

No, that is birth control which prevents pregnancy. it can not terminate it. And you can not know if you are pregnant until at least 2 weeks after sex. If you want an abortion you have to see a Gynecologist and if you have no safe abortion provider around you can find one on a safe site like womenonweb.
