How Does the Medication Abortion Work?

Over half of all abortions in the United States, are completed with medication, or the abortion pill. The medication abortion very effective and millions of people have used it safely all over the world. The medication abortion, is very safe. It is safer than many other medications that are used everyday such as penicillin and Tylenol.

The medication abortion actually uses two kinds of of medication (mifepristone and misoprostol) to induce an abortion privately, safely and effectively in your own home. The abortion pill can be taken in early pregnancy, and it is an alternative to the in-office abortion procedure.

Day 1-

You will come into the office and have an ultrasound, basic lab work and a medical evaluation/exam. After completing consent forms, you will take mifepristone in our office and you will leave with instructions for completing the abortion process at home.

Day 2/3-

24-48 hours later you will take the second medication at home. Because you have a 24 hour window to take this medication, make sure that you take it when you can be at home without any other obligations. Some patients will be given two doses of this medication because it can make the medication abortion more effective sometimes. After taking this medication you will have bleeding and strong cramping while you pass the pregnancy. Some patients also experience nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. We will give you medication to help with pain and nausea.

Follow Up Plan-

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, it is very important that you call us right away, especially if you did not have any bleeding or you feel like the medication did not work for any reason.

In 5 weeks you will take the pregnancy test given to you at your office visit.

Contact us anytime day or night, if you have any medical questions or concerns. We have medical staff on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in case of an emergency.

A first trimester abortion, or a D&C, is performed in the first three months of pregnancy. The procedure is two steps, first the physician will stretch open the cervix a little bit, usually less than the size of your thumb, and then a gentle suction is used to empty the uterus. This suction procedure is very common, safe and short, normally 5 – 7 minutes. We offer sedation or local anesthesia with this procedure.

The fee for this procedure includes pregnancy testing, admitting, pre-operative history and physical, ultrasound, lab work, the D&C procedure, RhoGAM or MicRhoGAM (if required), medications given on the day of the procedure, post-operative medications and your post-operative care as authorized by our medical staff.
