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:
A medication abortion does not end or treat an ectopic pregnancy. Other medical intervention is necessary.
The abortion pill side effects can mimic the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy.
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. -
