Aim of study Compare the success rate of misoprostol with versus without letrozole as a pretreatment for medical termination of pregnancy during the first trimester.
Hypothesis:
Letrozole value as a pre-treatment medication for misoprostol in induction of abortion during the first trimester.
Research question:
Will letrozole- misoprostol protocol give better results than misoprostol- alone protocol in induction of abortion during the first trimester?

Aim of the Work
Compare the success rate of misoprostol with versus without letrozole as a pretreatment for medical termination of pregnancy during the first trimester.
Hypothesis:
Letrozole value as a pre-treatment medication for misoprostol in induction of abortion during the first trimester.
Research question:
Will letrozole- misoprostol protocol give better results than misoprostol- alone protocol in induction of abortion during the first trimester?
Primary outcome:
Complete abortion (complete expulsion of products of conception with no need for curettage) within one week from the first dose of misoprostol.
Secondary outcome:
• Curettage (surgical evacuation of the products of conception)
- Incomplete abortion (retained products of conception).
- Considerable bleeding that necessitates immediate evacuation.

Letrozole misoprostol
Group (A): A participant will receive three tablets of letrozole (Letrozole®, Technopharma) as a single dose, each tablet 2.5 mg (total dose 7.5 mg per day) on day One, then she took the second dose herself on day Two and will be told to bring back the empty pack. The third dose will be given on admission to hospital on day Three followed by 4 tablets of vaginal misoprostol (200 μg) (Cytotec®, Pfizer) soaked with saline every three hours for maximum two doses.then give antibiotics when abortion start |
