An abortion at home is a personal choice and one that carries several considerations. Having an abortion at home may seem like it’s easier and it may provide more discretion. However, an at-home abortion is a longer process than a traditional first-trimester surgical abortion. And being at home for the procedure, you run the risk of not having immediate access to health care or a medical facility should complications arise.
There are a couple of different ways that at-home abortion pills are given. Either by mail through a telehealth appointment with an abortion provider, (abortion by mail), or at an in-clinic appointment with a local abortion provider.
A telehealth provider, l will determine a woman’s eligibility for medical abortion (abortion pill, also known as Missed Period Pills, Plan C or RU-486). However, this person cannot perform a physical examination or an ultrasound, and therefore is unable to determine factors that are critical to the type of abortion a woman is eligible for. During a telehealth visit, there is no way to confirm a viable pregnancy, date the pregnancy, or rule out miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. That is why getting a pre-abortion screening before making your pregnancy decision is important.

A: You’ll be welcomed by our receptionist who will introduce you to your client advocate. She will listen to you judgment-free and provide you with information followed by a pregnancy test. Should your test be positive, one of our caring medical professionals will conduct a limited ultrasound to confirm if you have a viable pregnancy and date fetal age.
A: Our tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A client with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.

A: We adhere to a strict privacy and confidentiality policy. Clients will be protected from disclosure of information that violates the right to privacy except when required by law, required for public health reasons, required to avert a threat of harm to the client or a third person, or when other circumstances may reasonably warrant such use or disclosure without prior authorization (e.g., abuse reporting, suicide/homicide prevention, etc.).
A: Our professional, medical-grade lab quality pregnancy test can determine pregnancy at the first day after your first missed period. We recommend you make an appointment if you have missed a period, have any pregnancy related questions, or think you might be pregnant.
A: On-site ultrasounds are available after an initial intake with one of our client advocates. Our limited ultrasound exams are performed by a licensed nurse sonographer or RDMS (registered sonographer) and reviewed by a licensed physician. An ultrasound confirms a viable pregnancy and determines how far along you are. To qualify for a limited ultrasound, you’ll need to be a minimum of 6 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period
A: You can still meet with a member of our staff to discuss your concerns and review available options. An ultrasound is recommended to know if your pregnancy is viable and in your uterus, since 20% – 25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. Additionally, the ultrasound will show how far along you are to determine what type of abortion you would choose. We can provide a limited ultrasound at no cost to you.
