If you discover you are pregnant early on, medical abortion may be an option as opposed to surgical abortion. We offer medication abortion up to 10 weeks at our clinic locations. The abortion pill is two forms of medication that work together. For surgical abortion, we provide care from up to 24 weeks in your pregnancy. Medical abortion, also known as “the abortion pill,” is used to terminate and expel the pregnancy and is considered less invasive. Mifeprex (mifepristone) and Cytotec (misoprostol) are the two medications used for early medical abortion (misoprostol). In a surgical abortion, the first day you will have laminaria (FDA-approved dilators) inserted into the womb opening to absorb bodily fluid and cause dilation. The procedure will be performed on the second day. Depending on the medical history, some procedures can take 3-4 days. You can conceive again immediately after your pregnancy ends. Begin using birth control immediately to avoid an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy. The doctor may also advise patients to begin using birth control to help regulate hormones and return bleeding to normal at a faster rate.
