Abortion Pill in Aurora, CO

Medication Abortion (Abortion Pill)

Medication abortion is a non-surgical option for ending an early pregnancy using FDA-approved medications.  This option is generally available up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, based on medical eligibility.

Medication abortion involves taking two different medications.  The first medication, which is taken the first day, stops the pregnancy from continuing. After 24-36 hours, the second medication causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue, similar to a miscarriage.

Most patients experience bleeding and cramping a few hours after taking the second medication. Other common effects can include nausea, fever/chills, diarrhea, headache, or fatigue. The experience varies from person to person.

Medication abortion does not involve anesthesia or a procedure in the uterus. For many patients, this option allows the process to occur in a private setting, though it requires the ability to manage symptoms at home and recognize when to seek medical support.

Follow-up is an important part of care to confirm that the abortion is complete and that there are no complications.  A urine pregnancy test is provided to confirm the success of the pill procedure.  Instructions for follow-up and when to contact the clinic for concerns are provided at your appointment.

Medication Abortion

Medicaton abortion typically involves one in-clinic appointment. During this visit, patients meet with a licensed clinician, review medical history, and undergo any necessary evaluation, including ultrasound or lab testing when indicated. The appointment lasts about 3 hours.

Although the abortion process itself occurs over time after leaving the clinic, a routine in person follow-up visit is not required. Patients are provided with a pregnancy test to use at home to confirm that the abortion is complete.

Our clinic remains available to patients for questions, concerns, or additional follow-up care as needed or requested. Patients are given clear instructions about when to contact the clinic or seek medical attention

Information

Typically, there will be no symptoms after taking the medication on Day 1. Rarely, patients will cramp, bleed, or even pass the pregnancy after the first pill. The second medication will be taken in 24-36 hours after the first dose, even if there is bleeding prior to this scheduled dosing. The second medication can have side effects including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shaking chills and a fever. These symptoms symptoms should not persist over 24 hours.

Rarely, patients will have cramping and bleeding after taking the first medication on Day 1. Typically, the bleeding will start a few hours hours after taking the second set of pills taken after 24 hours. Bleeding may be heavier than a normal period for several hours.  The irregular light bleeding may persist for several weeks following this`. A completely normal menstrual period may return between 1- 3 months. If you have received a prescription for oral contraceptives, it is recommended that you begin these after you pass the pregnancy. This will assist in regulating your cycle as well as prevent pregnancy. 

The cramping pain is like a menstrual period. This is your uterus contracting to expel the pregnancy tissue. It will be most intense a few hours after the second medication is taken. After the tissue has passed, the cramping should improve. Ibuprofen 800 mg every 8 hours is recommended. 

Some patients suffer from severe nausea due to pregnancy and others may develop nausea from the abortion medications. A prescription for Zofran will be provided at your visit upon request. Take as prescribed.

If you suffer from any of the symptoms relating to pregnancy (such as breast tenderness, nausea, heightened sense of smell etc.), it can take up to 2 weeks for these to resolve. After 2 weeks, if the pregnancy symptoms do not resolve or there is NO bleeding, please call and come into the office for an evaluation. It is always recommended that you bring a driver with you in the event a procedure (D and C) is recommended. This is not mandatory, but IV sedation will not be administered without a driver. The procedure is well tolerated using local anesthesia, which numbs the cervix (mouth to the uterus) as well as the lower 2/3 of the uterus.

Pregnancy tests remain positive for several weeks.  A first-morning urine test at 4 weeks is recommended.  If positive, contact the office for guidance

Notify the office if any of the symptoms listed below develop.  If an infection is detected early it will be easier to treat.

  1. Temperature greater than 100.4 F or higher
  2. Severe cramping or pain that returns after passing the pregnancy
  3. Foul smelling discharge
  4. Rash or Hives
  5. Soaking more than 2 pads an hour for 2 hours
  6. Dizziness or shortness of breath
  7. Chest pain
  8. Pregnancy symptoms that persist after 2 weeks
  9. Positive pregnancy test (First morning urine) after 4 weeks
  10. Pain that returns after passing the pregnancy
 

In cases of a true emergency, you should go to the nearest hospital.  You may share our contact information with the treating physician if they request additional medical information. Emergency medical providers are expected to provide appropriate care based on your medical condition.
