Before the medical abortion, your doctor will:
Assess your medical history and overall health
Confirm a pregnancy with a physical exam
Perform an ultrasound to date the pregnancy
Perform blood and urine tests
Explain the way the procedure works, as well as its side effects, risks, and potential complications
Once all the tests are performed your doctor will let you know whether there is anything you need to do to prepare for your termination of pregnancy. In addition to that, you will receive written instructions on how to take your pills.
