Thinking About the Abortion Pill?

Knowing your choices and available resources is important. We don’t provide abortions or refer for them, but our trained and knowledgeable staff are here to answer your questions.

We offer pregnancy testing, limited ultrasounds, and options consultation at our center.

What’s the Cost of the Abortion Pill?

The cost varies by location, provider, and insurance. Prices are often between $300 to $800 without insurance. Some clinics may help with costs if you qualify.


Insurance

Many insurance plans, including Medicaid in some states, may cover part or all of the cost. Coverage depends on the state.


Telemedicine Services

Some states offer telemedicine abortion services, usually costing $150 to $600. This may also include a consultation fee or follow-up care if needed.

Prices may also include a consultation fee, any necessary follow-up, or additional care if complications arise.

How Does the Abortion Pill Work?

Step 1 - Mifepristone

The abortion pill stops a pregnancy by blocking a hormone called progesterone, which the body needs to support a pregnancy. This makes the embryo stop growing, and the uterus lining breaks down.

If you change your mind and want to keep the pregnancy, there may be a way to reverse the effects with the Abortion Pill Reversal. Contact us to find out more.

Step 2 - Misoprostol

Misoprostol makes the uterus tighten to push out the embryo, sac, and lining. This means the pregnancy tissue will pass through the vagina. This process can take up to 48 hours and may cause heavy bleeding, strong cramps, and other symptoms. See risks and side effects below for more details.

Step 3 - Follow-Up

You’ll need to go back to the clinic two weeks after taking Misoprostol to check if the abortion worked completely. If you used a telehealth provider, ask about follow-up steps.

This step is very important because if any tissue is left, it could cause an infection and have long-term effects.

What Are The Risks & Side Effects of the Abortion Pill?

There are risks with the abortion pill. You might need a second procedure if it doesn’t work fully.

What’s a Self-Managed Abortion?

A self-managed abortion is when someone takes abortion pills at home without help from a doctor. There may be legal risks with this. The FDA does not recommned shipping abortion pills. Contact us to talk about your options.

How Effective is the Abortion Pill?

It fails between 2% and 8% of the time. The earlier in pregnancy, the better it works. Make sure to take your time deciding.
