1. Verify your pregnancy
2. Get an Ultrasound to know how far along you are

Abortion Pill (Medical Abortion)
Medical or non-surgical abortion uses RU-486 or other types of chemicals to terminate an early pregnancy. This method is used up to 49 days after a woman’s last menstrual period. The gestational age must be determined before getting any of these medicines. This process may involve up to 4 office visits and may require a surgical procedure if the medical abortion is incomplete. Make an appointment with the medical staff at Hope Women’s Center to learn more about medical abortion.
Surgical Abortion
If you’re not a candidate for a medical abortion or if the medical abortion fails, a surgical abortion will be necessary. A surgical abortion is an invasive procedure that ends a pregnancy by emptying the uterus (or womb) using surgical instruments. There are different types of surgical abortion procedures and different methods depending on how far along you are. Make an appointment with the medical staff at Hope Women’s Center to learn more about surgical abortions.

Any medical or surgical procedure comes with risks. At Hope Women’s Center, we want you to know your options and the risks associated with them.
