Medical Abortion
abortion pill
  • A medical abortion involves taking a prescription
    medicine called Mifepristone which is also
    called the abortion pill. The pill is used to
    end an early pregnancy.
  • It works by blocking progesterone, the hormone
    that builds up the lining of a womens uterus
    during pregnancy. Without progesterone, the
    lining of the uterus is unable to hold a
    pregnancy.
  • As the lining of the uterus breaks down, bleeding
    occurs. The abortion pill can only be used up to
    49 days after the first day of the last period
    (or 9 weeks). Its about 97 effective.

Surgical Abortion
  • A surgical abortion is a procedure that
    terminates a pregnancy, which is typically
    performed up to 16 weeks after the pregnant
    womans last period.
  • A doctor or advanced practice nurse usually
    performs the procedure in an out-patient office
    or clinic, or hospital.

How can I make this decision?

    trusted adult about the decision to terminate a
    pregnancy.

    relative sometimes a counsellor, nurse or your
    primary care provider is the first person you
