Before contemplating the abortion pill, it’s essential to determine the stage of your pregnancy. The FDA approves the abortion pill for pregnancies up to 70 days (10 weeks) after the last menstrual period.(4) We can provide you with vital information about your pregnancy and whether the abortion pill is an option.(5) It’s important to note that some women should not take the abortion pill; learn more.
If you are not eligible for a medical abortion, a surgical procedure known as suction/vacuum aspiration may be an alternative. An ultrasound can provide an estimated age for the pregnancy which is what determines the type of abortion procedure that can be done.
