How to choose which Abortion type is right for You
The medically induced abortion – commonly called “the abortion pill” is a form of early pregnancy termination successfully used around the world since 1988 and approved in the US in 2000. For some women this offers a safe, effective and non-invasive alternative to aspiration abortion in abortion clinics. The abortion by pill actually consists of two sets of medication: Mifepristone (RU 486) which stops the development of the pregnancy and Misoprostol (Cytotec) which causes the miscarriage to begin. By taking these two medications under the direction of an OBGYN, women are able to end a pregnancy as early as 4 ½ weeks up until 8 weeks with limited risk of complication. Because there is no anesthesia and no surgical instruments inserted into the uterus or cervix many women feel that it is a more natural feeling process which allows them more privacy and the comfort of home instead of aspiration procedure in an abortion clinic.

Abortion Pill Aftercare
Medical abortion is an alternative to surgical abortion that may be appropriate for some women. In a surgical abortion, the pregnancy is removed by suction curettage. In a medical abortion, a pill is used to stop the growth of the pregnancy. Thirty-six hours later, pills are placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve. These pills cause the pregnancy to miscarry. Thousands of women have used this method in clinical trials, and there have been no reports of significant side-effects or long-term risks. The medical method has a success rate of 95% or greater when given before 8 weeks of pregnancy.Complications are rare, but they do happen.

The Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA) Abortion procedure is another options for women seeking to end a pregnancy early on. The MVA abortion procedure is done in the office – allowing you to comfort of being monitored through the whole process by your certified OBGYN surgeon. While still technically considered a surgical procedure – the MVA employs what is called a ‘light touch’ technique which employs the gentlest suction produced using a manual syringe–like device inserted through the cervix. Many women who want to have an in office abortion but do not want to be put to sleep choose this option because it is gentle and silent which makes it easier to relax through and causes less discomfort.
