Understanding the Medical Abortion Process
A medical abortion, sometimes called the abortion pill, is a non-surgical method for ending an early pregnancy—generally up to 11 weeks gestation. The process typically involves two medications: mifepristone and misoprostol. Our clinic guides you through each step, ensuring you feel supported and informed.
- Consultation: You’ll have a private discussion with our medical team, either in-person or via telehealth. We’ll review your health history and answer your questions.
- Medication: The first pill (mifepristone) is taken at the clinic or via telehealth. The second medication (misoprostol) is taken at home, following clear instructions.
- Follow-Up: We check in with you to ensure the process is complete and you’re recovering well.
