Answer
Hi Zin,
the medical abortion with drugs is very unpleasant and risky when you're pregnant
over 43 days. That's why docs refuse  to do anything else than a surgical.
They should have told you this reason.
In my country you can ask for a general anesthesia, and you won't feel any pain.
With a local anesthesia the abortion is not particularly painful anyway.
Like a heavy period, lasting 10 minutes.
Surgical abortion in itself is not complicated and unsafe.
Good luck and do not worry too much.
Dr Shan
