Compassionate medication-based care in McLean, VA
Medical Abortion is a nonsurgical way to end an early pregnancy using prescribed medication. At Meadow Reproductive Health, this care is available up to 11 weeks of gestation when medically appropriate. Your clinician will confirm key health details, discuss whether this method fits your circumstances, and provide individualized instructions.
For eligible patients, medication abortion typically involves two medicines, mifepristone and misoprostol, taken in sequence. The first medication begins the process, while the second causes the uterus to empty, often with cramping and bleeding similar to or heavier than a period. Our clinicians explain expected symptoms, comfort measures, follow-up, and the warning signs that mean you should contact a medical professional promptly.

Information that helps you make a confident decision
Estimate pregnancy timing before your appointment
A pregnancy calculator can provide a preliminary estimate of gestational age based on the first day of your last menstrual period. This estimate is useful when you are considering a medical abortion because timing can affect which services may be appropriate. It is not a substitute for clinical assessment, and Meadow’s team will evaluate the information needed for your care.
If you are unsure of your last period date or your cycles vary, do not delay reaching out simply because you lack an exact answer. Bring the best information you have, including dates, symptoms, medications, and relevant health conditions. A clinician can help clarify what additional assessment is needed and explain the care path clearly.
Understand costs before you schedule
Questions about insurance and fees are an important part of preparing for abortion care, particularly when you are arranging a visit from another state. Meadow provides resources to help you understand payment considerations and what to ask before your appointment. Reviewing financial information early can reduce uncertainty and help you focus on your health and decision.
Costs and coverage can depend on your individual plan, the services you need, and other circumstances. The most reliable way to get current information is to speak with Meadow Reproductive Health directly before your visit. Our team can help you identify the questions that will make your scheduling process more straightforward.
Support for younger patients
Meadow’s information for patients under 18 explains that younger people may have additional instructions or requirements to consider before an appointment. Reviewing these details ahead of time can help a teen and their trusted support person understand what documentation, consent-related information, or planning may be relevant. Because laws and individual circumstances can change, contacting the clinic directly is the best way to receive guidance tailored to your situation.
