Do I need an Ultrasound?
Getting an ultrasound is a vital step in the process. It helps determine how far along you are in your pregnancy, which plays a key role in the cost and safety of the procedure. To make sure you have all the information you need, schedule your free ultrasound by clicking this link.
Types of Abortion
There are two main types of abortion: surgical and medical. Your options depend on how far along your pregnancy is and the laws in your state.
- A surgical abortion is a procedure performed by a doctor to remove the fetus.1 It's typically done in a clinic and can cost much more.
- A medical abortion (abortion pill) involves taking medication to end the pregnancy.2 It’s only approved as an option by the FDA within the first 70 days of conception.
Cost of an Abortion
- Surgical Abortion: The cost of a surgical abortion typically ranges from $800 to $2,000 but may exceed this amount due to factors such as travel expenses, medications, and variations in insurance coverage, as advertised by abortion providers in 2024.3 Additional expenses, such as travel and lodging, can significantly increase the total cost if surgical abortions are not legal in your state, requiring you to seek care elsewhere.
- Abortion Pill: The price of the abortion pill varies greatly, from no cost to around $800 or more. Additional costs may arise, such as expedited shipping for online orders, particularly when purchasing from international sources. Legal restrictions in your area can also affect availability, potentially complicating the process or increasing risks.
Risks of Ordering the Abortion Pill Online
Regardless of its legal status in your state, ordering the abortion pill online can pose both legal and medical risks. Unregulated pills from international sellers, especially those not approved by the FDA, can be dangerous.4 Taking the abortion pill without confirming your pregnancy through a medical-grade test can harm your health if you’re not actually pregnant. At-home pregnancy tests can sometimes produce false positives, so it’s crucial to verify your pregnancy first. Schedule your free pregnancy test here.
Taking the abortion pill without medical supervision can lead to misuse and serious health risks.5 It’s important to seek professional guidance throughout the process.
Did you know that 10% to 20% of all recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage?6 If you’re considering abortion, you may not need to make that decision. In addition, an ectopic pregnancy, occurring in about 1 in 50 pregnancies,7 can develop outside the uterus and requires treatment to prevent life-threatening complications. This makes an ultrasound essential. Contact us to schedule a free appointment for your ultrasound to determine the viability of your pregnancy.
