Are you considering the abortion pill as an option for your unexpected pregnancy? Also known as medical abortion, the abortion pill consists of two drugs that end an existing pregnancy: mifepristone and misoprostol.
To know if you’re eligible for the abortion pill, you will need to confirm how far along you are, the location of your pregnancy (whether it’s located within the uterus), and confirm if you’re experiencing any complications (such as ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage).
We understand how scary this time can be when considering your pregnancy options, but you are not alone. We’re here to walk with you as you learn the facts.
Is Your Pregnancy Viable?
First and foremost, understand if your pregnancy has a heartbeat and is progressing (also known as viability).
Some women experience ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, which are both non-viable pregnancies requiring medical attention. These complications would eliminate the option of abortion for women, as other medical treatment is needed.
Know the Location of Your Pregnancy
Determine the location of your pregnancy to know if you’re eligible for the abortion pill. This means confirming where your pregnancy is if it’s growing within your uterus or not.
Ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus. Again, this would make you ineligible for the abortion pill or any abortion procedure. It’s vital to get medical treatment right away for ectopic pregnancy, as it can be life-threatening if not treated right away.
How Far Along Are You?
Lastly, the abortion pill (medical abortion) is only recommended by the FDA for women through 10 weeks of pregnancy. An ultrasound is the only way to determine exactly how far your pregnancy is and can confirm all of your pregnancy details to make a safe and informed pregnancy decision.
