Abortion Pill (Medical Abortion)
Surgical Abortion
A Medical or non-surgical abortion uses the "Abortion Pill" or other types of chemicals to terminate an early pregnancy. This method of abortion is used up to 70 days after a woman’s last menstrual period. If you are further along in your pregnancy, a medical abortion may be ineffective. Getting a medical abortion may involve up to 2 office visits and may require a surgical procedure if the medical abortion is incomplete.
If you’re not a candidate for a medical abortion or if the medical abortion fails, a surgical abortion would be necessary. A surgical abortion must be obtained at a medical facility and ends a pregnancy by emptying the uterus using surgical instruments. There are different types of surgical abortion procedures and different methods involved (depending on gestational age).
