Abortion pills and procedures | What you need to know
If you think you may be pregnant, your first step is to confirm how far along you are and if the pregnancy is viable. This information can determine what options are available. The abortion pill is only FDA-approved up through 10 weeks after your last menstrual period. If you are considering a medical or surgical abortion, learn more about side effects, what to expect, recovery, and when to seek emergency care.
​
For your health and safety, you should rule out an ectopic pregnancy, have an IUD removed, and get tested for STDs prior to an abortion.
