What to Expect

  • On the day of your appointment you will receive an ultrasound and laboratory work.
  • A clinician will meet with you to review all instructions and answer your questions.
  • You will take the first pill (Mifeprex) in the office. Within 48 hours the second dose of medication (Misoprostol) will be administered at home. The combination of the two medicines will cause you to bleed and in most cases end the pregnancy within a few hours of using the second medicine at home.
  • You must return in 1-2 weeks to make sure everything worked properly.

FAQS

Occasionally patients may begin to bleed after using the Mifeprex in the office. Most patients bleed and pass the pregnancy several hours after using the second medication at home.

The abortion by pill is approximately 93% effective. Mifeprex and misoprostol will cause birth defects to this pregnancy. If the medical abortion does not work an in-clinic procedure MUST be performed. There is no extra charge if performed in our office under local anesthesia.

You should expect:

  • strong cramps
  • nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
  • heavy bleeding

Your period will come in four to six weeks. You can begin your birth control right away. If you start hormonal birth control you will know exactly when your period will begin. Your pregnancy test will remain positive for three weeks.
