Common Abortion Misconceptions
- A positive pregnancy test might not mean you're actually pregnant. Since miscarriages occur in roughly one quarter of all pregnancies, your pregnancy may not actually be viable. Always confirm your pregnancy test with an ultrasound. Taking the abortion pill when your pregnancy isn't viable can be dangerous.
- As per the FDA, a chemical abortion (AKA "the abortion pill") is only approved up to the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.
- Determining your conception date by your last period is not an accurate way to determine gestational age. Each menstrual cycle has a fertility window that can vary by person and by cycle. Only an ultrasound can accurately determine gestational age.
Have Questions Related to Abortions?
-
If you're considering abortion, your first step is to have an ultrasound.
Before scheduling an abortion, an ultrasound is crucial to:
1. Determine if your pregnancy is progressing: This helps determine which abortion method you are eligible for. The type of procedure, safety level and its cost depend on your health history and how far your pregnancy has advanced.
2. Determine if your pregnancy is viable: An ultrasound is the only way to confirm 100% whether your pregnancy is viable (progressing). Studies show that up to one in four pregnancies do not progress as expected. Some miscarriages are only detected during an ultrasound. If you have had a miscarriage, you will need follow-up care from a doctor. -
Understanding the cost of an abortion depends on the procedure type and whether the abortion pill is suitable for your stage of pregnancy. Costs can vary from hundreds to thousands of dollars.
