Till 8 weeks pregnancy can be terminated with medicine only. At 12 weeks baby is completely formed and you need surgical abortion

Ideally before appearance of cardiac activity because after that there are chances that you bleed profusely
so medical abortion should not be tried beyond 7 weeks
As generally by 7 weeks the cardiac activity appears
Weeks of pregnancy is calculated from lmp the day 1 that you started with your periods
If you are married you cannot terminate pregnancy after 12 weeks
If you are unmarried then termination after 12 weeks would be like a mini delivery
too painful a procedure
