Before Your Appointment

While online ordering or drive-by pickups seem fast and easy, the FDA and DEA do not recommend ordering online or getting pills from unsafe providers. 

 

There has been a large increase in long-term side effects in recent years. Emergency complications and taking unknown drugs of any kind can put your health at risk. 

 

The Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) issued a groundbreaking report that shows 1 in 10 women experienced serious adverse events from a chemical abortion (the abortion pill). That’s 22 times higher than the rate reported in clinical trials cited by the FDA. These events include serious complications like sepsis, hemorrhaging, infection, hospitalization, and even surgery.

 

At (Center Name), we’ve also heard so many stories from our patients that we’re now making sure women know more before their appointment with us. Your health and safety steps include:

 

1. Confirm a viable pregnancy

   1. We offer a free scan so you can know if the pregnancy is developing or if a miscarriage is possibly beginning

   2. You would not want to take any kind of abortion pills if you’re having a miscarriage.

2. Determine how far along you are

   1. This can rule out certain pregnancy options, including pills, which are only approved through early pregnancy

   2. We often see women who are further along than they think. This is a crucial safety step.

3. Talk through your health history

   1. With any drug, side effects can vary greatly. We’ll talk through the risks and complications, what to expect, and if there are any likely allergic reactions you can avoid.

   2. Are you Rh negative? Do you have an IUD? Do you need STD testing? These all should be answered before any type of abortion and certain medical steps may need to be taken.

 

One of the biggest benefits of starting with us is that you can ask questions and get answers without any pressure or cost involved! We’re here to put you first.
