Do You Have Questions About the Abortion Pill?
Do you have questions about the abortion pill? Maybe you are considering the abortion pill and want accurate information and abortion pill facts. Contact us today for a pregnancy consultation to discuss all your options. The abortion pill, also known as medication abortion is a combination of 2 types of medication taken over the course of about 3 days. The first pill blocks progesterone needed to carry a pregnancy and the second pill causes cramping and bleeding in order to discharge a pregnancy… it’s important to know the facts about this method before making a decision and to determine what is right for you and your body.
Abortion Pill Information
The abortion pill, also called medication abortion, is an early-termination procedure. It requires you to take two drugs designed to end and expel the pregnancy. This abortion method can only be performed before the tenth-eleventh week of pregnancy. The first drug blocks your body’s production of progesterone which is needed for the embryo to survive. The second pill causes contractions to expel the pregnancy. Because there are side effects and risks involved, be sure to talk with us for more information. Before taking the abortion pill, contact us for a free ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy and find out how far along you are. You should not take the abortion pill if the pregnancy occurs outside the uterus or if you are more than 10-11 weeks past your LMP (first day of last period.) An ultrasound is the only way to determine viability and gestation.
Note: The abortion pill goes by many names including missed period pills, at-home abortion, self-managed abortion, 10-week-after pills, medication, medical, or chemical abortion. It is not the same as emergency contraceptives. The FDA issued a warning about abortion by mail and new safety regulations. Your health and safety come first here. Contact us to learn more.
What Should I Do Before Taking The Abortion Pill?
At The Women’s Center, we want you to be well-informed. Before deciding to get the abortion pill, it is extremely important to schedule an ultrasound to determine pregnancy viability, the gestational age, and the location of your pregnancy. This is key to help ensure your safety and to know if the abortion pill is right for you.
