Do I need an Ultrasound?

An essential part of this process is undergoing an ultrasound. This procedure is crucial because it determines the number of weeks you have been pregnant, which significantly influences both the cost and safety of the procedure. In addition, ultrasounds play a critical role in diagnosing an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.

Types of Abortion

There are two primary types of abortion: surgical and chemical. Your decision will depend on the stage of your pregnancy and the legal regulations in your state.

• A surgical abortion is a procedure performed by a doctor to remove the fetus.¹ It is usually conducted in a clinical setting and can be more costly.
  
  
• A chemical abortion, also known as the abortion pill, involves taking medication to terminate the pregnancy.² This method is only approved by the FDA through the first 10 weeks after conception.

Cost of an Abortion

• Surgical Abortion: Costs are typically around $800-$2,000 but may exceed this amount due to factors such as travel expenses, medications, and variations in insurance coverage, as advertised by abortion providers in 2024.³ If surgical abortions are prohibited in your state, traveling to another state can substantially increase total expenses.
  
  
• Abortion Pill: Prices for the abortion pill vary widely, ranging from free to $800. Additional costs may arise, particularly for rush shipping, if the pill is ordered online, especially from international suppliers. Legal restrictions in your region can also complicate procurement and introduce potential risks.

Risks of Ordering the Abortion Pill Online

Whether or not the abortion pill is permissible in your state, purchasing it online carries legal and health risks. Pills from international sources, particularly those not FDA-approved, can pose dangers.⁴ It's crucial to confirm your pregnancy with a medical-grade test before considering any medication. False positives on home tests are possible, underscoring the need for accuracy. Schedule your no-cost pregnancy test here.

Self-administration of the abortion pill without medical supervision can lead to misuse and severe health complications.⁵ It's vital to seek professional guidance.
