Abortion Services

The abortion pill method uses two separate medications to terminate a pregnancy. The first drug blocks the absorption of a hormone called progesterone, so the pregnancy can no longer survive. The second drug causes contractions to expel the pregnancy from the body.

You can encounter potential complications after taking the abortion pill or undergoing an abortion. Signs of infection can include fever lasting more than 24 hours, severe abdominal or back pain that doesn’t improve with medication, heavy bleeding (soaking two or more pads an hour for two hours), or foul-smelling vaginal discharge. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should seek immediate medical attention.
