However, before getting a medical abortion, there are some important things to consider before taking the medication.     ## Medical Abortion Checklist ###### 1. Be Certain You're Actually Pregnant This may seem obvious, but in the worry of the moment, it's easy to act before confirming pregnancy with a medical-quality pregnancy test and ultrasound. Never take the abortion pill without confirming you are pregnant, and always take the medication under the supervision of a medical professional. ###### 2. Know the Status and Stage of Fetal Development  As many as one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage. While a pregnancy test may come back positive, you won't know if the fetus is living without an ultrasound. An ultrasound also helps determine the age and development of the fetus. Abortion pills are only safe to use within 70 days of conception. [Getting an ultrasound ensures you're within that window](https://aspire-now.org/free-ultrasound-williston-vt). ###### 3. Make Sure THis is *YOur *Decision Carrying a baby is a huge commitment that impacts everyone close to you. Because of this, you might be hearing conflicting advice about whether to carry or abort. However, the choice is ultimately yours. No one—neither your partner, friends, nor family—can coerce or threaten you into having an abortion. You have legal protections against being forced to abort against your will. If you feel coerced or threatened into having an abortion, you have advocates. AspireNow offers professional, safe, and confidential support and can answer all your questions with complete anonymity. We’re here to provide accurate information about the abortion pill and your options. ###### 4. Know The Risks Having an abortion is a physical, emotional, and spiritual experience. There are some inherent risks to the procedure. For example, having an abortion while suffering from an untreated sexually transmitted infection (STI) can increase your risk of infection and complications. An abortion procedure is irreversible, so it's important to be firm and confident in your decision before going through with it. Without this conviction, you may experience emotional or spiritual pain and regret.   ### Abortion Consultation Services If you have any questions or you're ready to talk about the abortion pill and your options in a safe, professional, and confidential space, Aspire Now is here for you.
