Planned Parenthood of Connecticut is now offering both surgical and medical abortion options at four of our 18 health centers. The New Haven , West Hartford , Norwich , and Stamford centers began to provide medical abortion shortly after the start of the New Year.
Medical abortion ends a pregnancy using medications rather than surgery.
A woman may use Mifepristone during the early part of pregnancy no later than 49 days after the first day of her last period. This is confirmed by ultrasound. Mifepristone is a pill that the woman swallows. It works with another medication called Misoprostol. Mifepristone blocks a hormone that is needed to continue pregnancy.
