You just found out you’re pregnant and want to know more about the abortion pill and all the other options.

The clinician answering a patient's question about abortion pill

The type of abortion you can get mostly depends on how many weeks you have been pregnant (gestational age).

 

Abortion Pill – Up to 10 Weeks

If you are 10 weeks pregnant or less, you might be considering the abortion pill.

The abortion pill is medicine that ends a pregnancy. It’s part of a procedure called a medical abortion.

Essentially, a medical abortion is a series of drugs that cause the termination of a pregnancy. Anesthesia isn’t used.

You can’t get the abortion pill over the counter. It has to be prescribed by a doctor.

The doctor will verify you are pregnant, find out how many weeks you have been pregnant, and discuss your health. The abortion pill can usually be taken up to 9 weeks into a pregnancy.

Talking with us is always confidential. Call our clinic to talk with a licensed medical professional for free about the abortion pill.

 

Surgical Abortion – Up to 12 Weeks

If you’re more than 10 weeks pregnant, surgical abortion is a type of abortion that could be available to you. Medical abortion probably wouldn’t be used.

Surgical abortion means ending a pregnancy with a procedure that’s like surgery. It requires invasive procedures and medical tools used by a doctor to end the pregnancy.

A type of surgical abortion that’s usually available up to 12 weeks is called dilation and curettage with vacuum aspiration. It’s sometimes shortened to D&C.

D&C is a surgical procedure that requires a doctor and anesthesia.
