Considering abortion pills?

Get an ultrasound first.

It’s important for your health and safety to confirm your pregnancy with an ultrasound before a medication abortion:

  • Confirm viability

  • Find out how far along you are

  • Check for ectopic pregnancy

Thrive Medical Clinic offers no-cost confirmation ultrasounds and information about your pregnancy options, including abortion procedures, risks and recovery.

We don’t provide or refer for abortions; we’ll help you gain the information you need to plan your next steps with confidence — because you matter.

Abortion FAQs

Take charge of your health by getting personalized answers before an abortion.

  • Pregnancy due date calculators and apps are often inaccurate due to implantation bleeding, irregular cycles, and other factors. It’s important to confirm your gestational age with an ultrasound before an abortion, so you can know your options and follow FDA safety guidelines.

    We provide confirmation ultrasounds at no cost.

  • Checking for ectopic pregnancy with an ultrasound before taking abortion pills is important for three reasons:

    1. A medication abortion does not end or treat an ectopic pregnancy. Other medical intervention is necessary.

    2. The abortion pill side effects can mimic the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy.

    3. Early detection and treatment is essential, because ectopic pregnancies can become life-threatening as they progress.

  • 10-20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. If a pregnancy is no longer viable, abortion is not necessary.

    An ultrasound will check for signs of potential miscarriage, and can confirm whether or not the pregnancy is progressing and viable.

  • Understanding side effects and how your unique health impacts your abortion experience is an important step. We’re here to help you feel empowered and informed. Schedule a pregnancy options consultation.
