Single-Appointment Abortion Care
Medication Abortion
We offer medication abortion (sometimes called the “abortion pill”). We use a combination of 2 drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol.
Mifepristone causes changes in the lining of the uterus. Misoprostol then causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.
What to Expect
All patients must receive consultation services before their abortion. These may occur on the same day or be split up between two days depending on availability and your preferences
Consultation services
Fill out medical history paperwork
Ultrasound exam
Finger prick to take a small blood sample to check your blood iron levels
Private session with a patient advocate
Each appointment will include a discussion and education about your birth control options, and Preterm may be able to prescribe you birth control as part of your abortion appointment.
Abortion Services
Abortion services will take 3-4 hours. During these services, you will:
Meet privately with a physician to give consent
The doctor will give you an oral dose of mifepristone and a dose of misoprostol to take at home 24 to 48 hours later
A patient support person will review all instructions for the remaining medication
You will be scheduled for a follow-up telehealth appointment about one week later
