Question
what type of abortion can be done when your less than a month pregnant? about 20 days? or there's anything that i can take to lose it? like any pills required but i'm 16 year old  

Answer
Hi Luna,

a very young pregnancy like yours can be treated by different medicaments.
E.G. Misoprostol(Cytotec®), Mifepristone or Metotrexate.
Best look at:

These pills are not so easy to get in the USA.
You need a prescription, but perhaps someone can help you.
Please take care and do nothave unprotected sex  !
Bests,
Dr Shan
