What Is The Abortion Pill?

The abortion pill is a method of early pregnancy termination, inducing a chemical/ medical abortion. It is taken in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy and involves two medications. If you are considering the abortion pill, learn more about side effects, what to expect, restrictions, and recovery. It’s also important to know how far along you are and if you are eligible for the abortion pill before you make a decision regarding your pregnancy.

 

We can confirm the viability of your pregnancy with an ultrasound which will verify whether your pregnancy is intrauterine or not and helps detect an ectopic pregnancy. While we do not provide or refer for abortion services, we provide answers and options so you can make a medically informed choice. Options  serves women and families by providing services at no cost. Make an appointment today to learn more.

Who Can Take The Abortion Pill?

Women with certain medical conditions, who have allergies to drugs used in the abortion pill regime, have an ectopic pregnancy, or who are more than ten weeks pregnant are not eligible for the abortion pill.
 

The abortion pill is ineffective in the case of an ectopic pregnancy, a pregnancy occurring within the fallopian tube or another location in a woman’s body other than the uterus. 

 

An ectopic pregnancy, if untreated, can cause the fallopian tube to rupture, resulting in lethal bleeding and hemorrhaging. Abortions are not used to treat ectopic pregnancies. A separate surgical procedure is required to treat an ectopic pregnancy. 

 

As with any drug; weight, hormones, allergies, health conditions, diseases, and the type of pregnancy can cause differing side effects. If you have taken the first dose of the abortion pill and change your mind, contact the abortion pill reversal network to learn more about your options.

Note: If you are Rh-negative, be sure to tell your healthcare provider so you can get the necessary treatment after an abortion.
