The abortion pill is a safe and effective method for ending an early pregnancy. Our clinic provides this non-surgical option with the utmost confidentiality and care, ensuring that our patients feel secure and supported throughout the process.
The abortion pill is a combination of two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, used to terminate a pregnancy. Mifepristone works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for pregnancy to continue. Misoprostol induces uterine contractions to expel the pregnancy tissue. This method is approved for use up to 10 weeks of gestation.
The abortion pill is suitable for women up to 10 weeks pregnant. Before administering the medication, we will conduct a thorough medical evaluation to ensure it is a safe and appropriate option for you. This may include an ultrasound to confirm the gestational age and rule out any medical conditions that could complicate the procedure.
To prepare for taking the abortion pill, you should:
Common Side Effects: You can expect cramping and bleeding as the pregnancy tissue is expelled. These symptoms are similar to a heavy menstrual period. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are also possible but typically resolve within a few hours.
When to Seek Medical Attention: Contact us immediately if you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding (soaking more than two pads per hour for two consecutive hours), fever, or if you have concerns about your symptoms.
After taking the abortion pill, follow these aftercare instructions:
Rest as needed and avoid strenuous activities.
Monitor your bleeding and symptoms.
Use sanitary pads instead of tampons to reduce the risk of infection.
Avoid sexual intercourse for at least a week or until bleeding stops.
Follow-Up Appointments: It is crucial to attend a follow-up appointment to ensure the abortion is complete and to check your overall health. Our clinic provides compassionate support and additional resources, such as counseling, to help you through this time.
