How Can I Cause a Self-Induced Miscarriage?

Posted on April 3, 2024 by Metro Women's Care

There are a lot of rumors about how to cause a miscarriage. Some of the most common are go on a horseback ride, vigorous exercise, have sex, or take a hot bath or shower. If you are reading this blog, most likely you’ve already tried a few of these and realize that they have not produced your desired end.

Can we back up for a second and talk about some miscarriage facts? It is estimated that between 20-25% of pregnancies end on their own. 1 Sometimes these miscarriages occur before the woman even knows that she is pregnant. The most common reason for a miscarriage is a chromosomal abnormality with the baby. 2 Other reasons are also beyond a woman’s control and can be devastating for a woman who is wanting to conceive and carry a child.

For women trying to force their body to miscarry, they often will eventually turn to pills to produce a miscarriage. Online abortion pill providers are not to be trusted according to the FDA and before you decide to purchase a $300 prescription there are a few things that you should really consider.

First things first, you have a positive pregnancy test, but…..have you had an ultrasound? There’s a reason why OB doctors rely on ultrasound machines for data- they give insight into what is actually going on inside the women’s uterus! An ultrasound gives a MUCH fuller picture:

is this fetus in the uterus or the fallopian tubes (with the rise in STI/STDs ectopic pregnancies are also increasing).

is there a heartbeat? It is possible to have a positive pregnancy test and later have an ultrasound that shows there is no heartbeat.

how far along is this pregnancy? We women can be “off” in tracking our cycles. An ultrasound will take measurements and give a more accurate picture about this pregnancy.

is there only 1 fetus? It is not uncommon to carry twins.
