The early abortion method is not suitable for everyone and there are certain factors that mean you are not eligible for treatment this way. These factors are: If you are 35 year old or over and smoke 10 or more cigarettes each day If it is thought that you have an ectopic pregnancy If you have a past medical history of heart disease, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease If you are taking long term anti corticosteroids (taken for arthritis) If you have an IUD (contraceptive device) which will not be removed If you have adrenal failure If you have any hemorrhagic disease or porphyria or are taking anti-coagulants If you have inflammatory bowel disease which is poorly controlled. Medical abortion is typically considered a failure when a surgical procedure is performed to complete the abortion for any reason, including incomplete abortion, continuing (viable) pregnancy, hemorrhage, or patient request. (1) (2) Failure is a well-known complication of medical abortion. Medical abortion protocols emphasize the importance of counseling women about the risk of failure. Medical abortion failure requiring a surgical procedure can include: Heavy Bleeding/Hemorrhage and Anemia (especially with ongoing blood loss) (See BLEEDING) Incomplete Abortion (unresponsive to drug treatment) Persistent Gestational Sac (GS) without cardiac activity Profuse Bleeding due to blood clots or pregnancy tissue fragments Continuing (ongoing) pregnancy/True drug and method failure Orthostatic hypotension (extreme drop in blood pressure) Patient unable to return to clinic; no access to emergency services Patient preference to complete the procedure because she is tired of persistent bleeding Provider choice or error interventions Medically necessary interventions or threats to patients? health Failures, defined as cases requiring surgical procedure for medical reasons or because the patient requested it, the abortion was incomplete, or the pregnancy was ongoing, increases with longer durations of pregnancy. Women must be informed to return for a clinical examination in cases of acute or prolonged bleeding, pain or fever, as these signs may be indicators of failure or other complications that need treatment.
