Abortion Pills vs Abortion Clinic Procedures

The Abortion Pill

The abortion pill is two different drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, taken in one or two doses. A medication abortion is FDA-approved up through 70 days (10 weeks) after a woman’s last menstrual period (LMP). The abortion pill is not an option for people with certain medical conditions, if the pregnancy is not viable, or if the pregnancy occurs outside of the uterus.

It’s important to rule out an ectopic pregnancy or a natural miscarriage and find out how far along you are via limited ultrasound. Conception calculators can only estimate a potential due date.

Contact us for a free ultrasound and to learn more about abortion pills and your options. While we do not perform or refer for abortion services, we can give you the answers you need before you decide.

Abortion Procedures

Aspiration abortion procedures can be performed up to 13 weeks after a woman’s last menstrual period (LMP). It is the most common early surgical abortion method and it is an outpatient procedure. Aspiration abortion is sometimes performed in the event of a medication abortion failure.

A D&E abortion is typically performed 13 weeks or more after a woman’s last known period (LMP). It is the most common second-trimester surgical abortion method. Local anesthesia or sedation is commonly utilized.
