Medical Abortion Procedures
Receiving an ultrasound is the most accurate way to determine how far along you are in your pregnancy, which is necessary to know in order to find out which abortion procedures are available to you.
There are many abortion procedures:
Abortion Pill (Mifreprex & Mifepristone, more commonly known as RU-486)
Suction Dilation & Curettage
Dilation and Evacuation
Dilation and Extraction / Intact Dilation and Extraction
Prostaglandin
Methotrexate
Intra-cardiac injection
It is important to understand what these procedures are and how they affect you. We can provide information on these and other forms of emergency contraception that are available.
Abortion Risks
As with many medical procedures, abortions entail risks. Understanding these risks will affect the decision you make with your pregnancy. You have the right to make an informed decision. We will help you make that decision by providing you all of the facts and support you need.
Other Things to Consider
Prior to receiving an abortion, it is important that you do not have any undiagnosed STD/STIs that you increase your change of developing Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), which can lead to serious complications including infertility, ectopic pregnancy, abscess formation, as well as chronic pevlic pain.
Schedule an Ultrasound
We encourage you to schedule an ultrasound prior to scheduling an abortion, as it has assisted many previous clients in making their decision. Limited ultrasoundsd can be scheduled following a pregnancy test.
