What is the best abortion method for you?

It is important that you take time to think through all your pregnancy and abortion options. There are many ways to address an unintended pregnancy, but you determine your own best path based on your circumstances. This pregnancy options workbook can help you consider what options are available to you and what best fits your needs.

Choosing between a medication abortion and an in-office abortion is a highly personal decision. Both the abortion pill and an in-office procedure are very safe and effective. Many people feel that the abortion pill is more private because the actual abortion takes place at home, and many people like the peace of mind after an in-office procedure when leaving their provider no longer pregnant.

Advantages of the Abortion Pill

• The abortion pill can be used in the earliest weeks of pregnancy up to 12 weeks.
• It requires no surgery or anesthesia (and less time in a medical environment).
• It has the potential for greater privacy.
• It allows for more control over your body.
• It is less invasive and may feel more natural.

Advantages of an In-Office Procedure

• The biggest advantage for many is that you are no longer pregnant when you leave our center.
• An in-office procedure with SafeMedsCare takes about 2-7 minutes, no longer than a regular pap smear and it’s provided in a regular exam room. In contrast, taking the abortion pill requires two steps to be successful and it takes between 24 and 72 hours for most users.
• This option at SafeMedsCare is available up to 13 weeks gestation, as opposed to the abortion pill that is only available up to 12 weeks of pregnancy depending on your state laws.

Regardless of what abortion option you choose, both a medication abortion and the in-office procedure are safe and effective, and SafeMedsCare will offer you 24/7 high quality, compassionate support throughout the process.
