AT-HOME ABORTION PILL

Before Taking The Abortion Pill

Prior to taking the abortion pills, it is vital that you see a medical provider, in person, during a private appointment. A medical provider can prevent or diagnose complications before taking the abortion pill.(1),(2)


Medication abortion (also called the abortion pill) is FDA approved for up to 70 days (10 weeks pregnant) after the start of your last menstrual period.

  • The “pill” is actually a protocol that involves taking two drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, which are taken in two separate doses on different days.
  • The FDA strongly cautions against the use of mifepristone obtained over the Internet.(3)
  • The abortion pills are different from emergency contraception, sometimes called the “morning-after pill”.
MEDICAL ABORTION ISN’T AN OPTION IF YOU
  • Are too far along in your pregnancy. You shouldn’t attempt a medical abortion if you’ve been pregnant for more than nine weeks (after the start of your last period). Some types of medical abortion aren’t done after seven weeks of pregnancy.
  • Have an intrauterine device (IUD) currently in place.
  • Suspect you have a pregnancy outside of the uterus. This is called ectopic pregnancy.
  • Have certain medical conditions. These include bleeding disorders; certain heart or blood vessel diseases; severe liver, kidney or lung disease; or an uncontrolled seizure disorder.
  • Take a blood thinner or certain steroid medicines.
  • Can’t make follow-up visits to your provider or don’t have access to emergency care.
  • Have an allergy to the medicine used.

FREE ULTRASOUND EXAM

We provide free ultrasound services to confirm a viable pregnancy and help you learn more about your options. Because abortion is restricted in our state, we do not provide abortion services or the abortion pill. However, we can confirm pregnancy and explain the different methods of abortion based on how far along you are.


Learn how far along you are

A medication abortion could be very dangerous for you if your pregnancy is further along than you know. You shouldn’t attempt a medical abortion if you’ve been pregnant for more than nine weeks (after the start of your last period). Some types of medical abortion aren’t done after seven weeks of pregnancy.(5)


WHETHER OR NOT YOUR PREGNANCY IS LOCATED IN THE UTERUS

If the pregnancy is ectopic (in which your pregnancy is progressing in the wrong part of your body), you will require immediate medical treatment.(6)


IS YOUR PREGNANCY VIABLE?

About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. But the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur very early in pregnancy.(7)
