It’s important to confirm how long you’ve been pregnant, the progression, and the location of your pregnancy because that will determine which type of abortion procedure you’re eligible for.
An Ultrasound Reveals How Long You’ve Been Pregnant
When an ultrasound is conducted, the sonographer will take measurements to determine how long you may have been pregnant. Depending on the length and progression of your pregnancy, you may be eligible for the abortion pill, or you may need a surgical abortion.
Confirming the number of weeks and progression of your pregnancy will help you consider the options available to you.
An Ultrasound Reveals The Location of Your Pregnancy
Some pregnancies occur outside of the uterus, which can lead to serious harm. If you have an ectopic pregnancy, you will need specialized medical attention, and the FDA advises you not to take the abortion pill.
The only way to know the location is with an ultrasound. For your own safety, you’ll want this confirmation before your abortion. Our free non-diagnostic ultrasounds make this information readily available to you.
