Steps Before Taking The Abortion Pill

Knowing your options and available resources is important. Before you pursue the abortion pill, there are important steps to take.

Confirming you are pregnant, confirming the viability of the pregnancy, and understanding all of your options is where to start when considering abortion. We offer these next steps before moving forward with the abortion pill. All of our services are free and confidential. 

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.

Insurance

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

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.

Many states have laws regarding the shipping of the abortion pill. Research your area to learn more.

The FDA strongly recommends NOT buying abortion pills online for your safety. If you have questions, reach out to our caring team.

Telemedicine is NEVER recommended for any type of abortion service, including the abortion pill.

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 follow-up with your doctor two weeks after taking Misoprostol to check if the abortion worked completely. A telehealth provider often avoids this step risking your safety.

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

"I found out I was pregnant after just moving from MI to TN and I went here to get an ultrasound. The staff was caring and empathetic, they made me feel welcomed and accepted. They offered counseling and free baby care items once you completed their program. I highly recommend this place for guidance, support, and care!"
