I do not know my blood group — can MTP still proceed?

Testing can be done as part of workup. Your doctor sequences care safely.

Is anti-D always required?

It depends on Rh status and clinical protocols. Ask during consultation.

Does Rh status change the abortion method?

Method is driven mainly by gestation and ultrasound; Rh care is an add-on safety step when indicated.

If you are Rh-negative, your doctor may recommend anti-D immunoglobulin after MTP or pregnancy loss as per clinical protocols. A simple blood group test before care helps protect future pregnancies.

Blood group is a small test with long-term importance. Rh status guides whether anti-D is advised after bleeding events or MTP. Please consult a doctor — protocols are individual.

What Rh-negative means here

Without appropriate prophylaxis in indicated situations, sensitisation can complicate future pregnancies. Your clinician decides based on guidelines and your history.
