Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, honest answers to your most important questions.
Yes. Medical abortion is very safe when done with accurate information and access to medical support if needed. The World Health Organization includes abortion pills on its list of essential medicines. Serious complications are rare.
Medical abortion is typically effective for pregnancies up to 12 weeks. Our counselors will help you determine your eligibility based on your specific situation and gestational age.
Mifepristone blocks the hormone needed for pregnancy to continue. Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue. The process is similar to a heavy period or early miscarriage.
Cramping and bleeding usually start within 1–4 hours of taking Misoprostol. The heaviest bleeding lasts several hours, then gradually decreases over days or weeks. Everyone’s body responds differently.
Most people experience cramping that ranges from moderate to strong. Our counselors will advise you on pain management, including Ibuprofen, to help you stay comfortable.
Bleeding is typically heavier than a period, with clots. You should not soak more than 2 maxi pads per hour for 2 consecutive hours. If bleeding is extremely heavy, seek medical attention immediately.
Seek immediate care for very heavy bleeding, severe pain unrelieved by medication, fever persisting beyond 24 hours, foul-smelling discharge, or loss of consciousness.
Yes. You can ovulate and become pregnant again soon after an abortion. Our counselors can discuss contraception options to help you prevent pregnancy when you’re ready.
