The Process
How Does the Abortion Pill Work?
Abortion Pill – Day 1
An ultrasound, lab work, and evaluation are performed in the office by our medical staff. The first pill, is taken in the office. You will leave with instructions for completing the process at home.
Birth control options will also be discussed and provided at this office visit if you want. You can become pregnant again right after having an abortion.
Abortion Pill – Days 2 & 3
24-48 hours later you will take the second medication, at home. You may be given two doses of this medication to take at home, 4 hours apart. This can help make the medication abortion more effective sometimes.
After taking this medication, you will have bleeding and strong cramping while you pass the pregnancy. You may also have nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea. Plan to stay home for 12-24 hours.
Abortion Pill Follow up
3-4 days after your office visit, we will text you a reminder to do a self-assessment. If you answer ‘NO’ to any of these questions, you must call our office. In 5 weeks, you will take a pregnancy test.
If you or we are concerned that the medications did not work or if your pregnancy test is still positive 5 weeks later, you should return to our office as soon as possible. You may still be pregnant.
