The pregnancy test gave you a result that you weren’t expecting – and you’re wondering if you can end your pregnancy on your own.
We get it. This is a stressful, desperate time. If you need medical-grade pregnancy testing, a limited OB ultrasound, or pregnancy options counseling, make a free appointment today.
If you’ve done some research, you may have encountered websites that claim certain combinations of herbs, extreme physical activities, or taking certain supplements can stimulate a miscarriage. At the very least, these “home remedies” won’t be effective at causing a miscarriage. At their worst, they can cause accidental poisoning, resulting in serious health problems and even death.
Potential side effects for causing a miscarriage at home
Attempting to induce a miscarriage is dangerous, no matter the method you’re using. No natural method for inducing a miscarriage is guaranteed to be successful, and they all can cause permanent damage to your body, affect your fertility, and harm your liver and intestines.
Potential side effects to causing a miscarriage include:
-Diarrhea
-Vomiting
-Infection
-Incomplete abortion
-Extreme blood loss
-Internal scarring
-Poisoning
-Organ failure
-Death
If you have attempted to induce a miscarriage, and are experiencing these symptoms, reach out to a medical professional as soon as possible.
