Abortion Pill Info

What is the Abortion Pill?

A non-surgical abortion, often referred to as “medical abortion”, “chemical abortion” or “the abortion pill”, can be done between the fifth and tenth weeks of pregnancy (seven to nine weeks after the first day of your last period). This type of abortion requires taking two pills that end the pregnancy and cause the uterus to contract and expel the embryo.

What are the risks & side effects?

Side effects from this type of abortion include:

  • excessive bleeding (lasting from several days to a few weeks)
  • heart palpitations
  • infection
  • incomplete abortion (in this case, you would need to have a surgical abortion afterward)

There are several contraindications for chemical abortion, so a thorough medical history should be made on any woman interested in this procedure.

For more information on chemical abortion, the possible risk factors, and whether this procedure would be an option for you, please reach out to us.

Basic Abortion Facts

Medical Abortion (The Abortion Pill)

A non-surgical abortion, often referred to as “medical abortion”, “chemical abortion” or “the abortion pill”, can be done between the fifth and tenth weeks of pregnancy (seven to nine weeks after the first day of your last period). This type of abortion requires taking two pills that end the pregnancy and cause the uterus to contract and expel the embryo.

Side effects from this type of abortion include:

  • excessive bleeding (lasting from several days to a few weeks)
  • heart palpitations
  • infection
  • incomplete abortion (in this case, you would need to have a surgical abortion afterward)

There are several contraindications for chemical abortion, so a thorough medical history should be made on any woman interested in this procedure.

For more information on chemical abortion, the possible risk factors, and whether this procedure would be an option for you, please reach out to us.

Surgical Abortion

The most common type of abortion is surgical abortion, also referred to as “in-clinic” abortion. A procedure known as suction aspiration, often accompanied by dilation and curettage (scraping of the uterus), is done from six weeks to about twelve to fourteen weeks. It involves a “twilight” or general anesthetic (being “put to sleep”), a dilation (opening up) of the cervix, and a suctioning and/or surgical removal of the fetus. Possible side effects for this type of procedure include

  • severe cramping
  • excessive bleeding
  • blood clot formation
  • damage to the cervix/tearing
  • perforation of the uterus or scarring of the uterine lining

Dilation and evacuation are performed after fourteen weeks of pregnancy (dilating the cervix, sometimes with seaweed strips, and surgically removing the fetus). This type of abortion has similar risk factors for surgical abortions done earlier. Obviously, the farther along a woman is in her pregnancy, the more risk factors she may be facing.

Free Pregnancy Tests

If your period is late and you have been sexually active, do you wonder if you are pregnant? No matter what type of contraception you might have used, it is always possible it didn’t work.

The thought of an unplanned pregnancy is frightening. If you are like most women, you think, “My period will start tomorrow. It just has to start tomorrow!” Don’t wait and worry any longer. We offer free and completely confidential pregnancy tests.

Our Pregnancy Testing

We will provide you with a medical-grade, urine-based pregnancy test. Plus, they have a manufacturer’s accuracy rating of 99%. You can have complete confidence you are getting the most accurate results.

Our tests have a higher sensitivity to the pregnancy hormone (hCG) than many over-the-counter brands. The hCG hormone is produced during pregnancy to help the fertilized egg grow. It builds up rapidly in your body once the egg becomes attached to the uterine wall.

With our test, pregnancy detection is possible in as little as 7-10 days after intercourse when you think you might have conceived. You can have an accurate answer sooner, even before your next period is due. Why wait?

My pregnancy test is positive. Now what?

If your pregnancy test is positive, we can sit down and chat about your next steps. We understand you may feel overwhelmed about your pregnancy. There’s no need to make an immediate decision. You have time. We won’t pressure you then or at any other time…ever.

We’re a safe place where you can get accurate information about abortion and all of your other options. If you need someone trustworthy and nonjudgmental, you can count on us. We respect your privacy, and we’ll give you time to process your thoughts and figure out what to do next. If you have questions, we have answers.

Let’s talk about this option. Another choice is adoption. It is the perfect option when you’re not ready to parent, but don’t want to have an abortion. Talking it through completely will help you understand the process.

Experiencing Pregnancy Symptoms?

Think you might be pregnant? The only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test, but there are common symptoms that can also be a good indication you might be pregnant.

Here are some early pregnancy symptoms to be on the lookout for if you think you’re pregnant.

  • Late or Missed Period – This is the most common telltale sign you might be pregnant. If your period is usually very regular and it’s late, you may have cause for concern. If you miss it entirely, that is a good sign you might be pregnant.
  • Tender or Swollen Breasts – Another common early sign of pregnancy is for your breasts to be tender or swollen. If you are pregnant, this is caused by your body’s increased production of progesterone and other hormones that are preparing your body for pregnancy.
  • Mood Swings – Extreme mood swings. If you are pregnant, your body is going through many changes that can cause your emotions to be all over the place.
  • Food Cravings or Aversions – Many pregnant women experience food cravings, even for foods they previously didn’t like. They can also experience aversions to foods they previously loved.
  • Nausea and Vomiting – Finally, if you are pregnant, you may experience nausea and vomiting as your body adjusts to being pregnant.
