Medication Abortion Process Near East Peoria, IL
Like any abortion service we provide, for medication abortions at our clinic serving patients from East Peoria, Illinois, we start with a pregnancy test and ultrasound to confirm the length of the pregnancy. This helps to be sure the medication abortion will be safe and effective. Then in the first visit you’ll be given a pill to take. This pill will stop pregnancy hormones, stopping the growth of the pregnancy. Within 1-2 days of taking the first pill, you’ll come back for the second pill. This pill will dilate the cervix and induce your body to expel the pregnancy. After you have taken the pills, we will have a follow-up appointment in two weeks to confirm the pregnancy was aborted successfully and to check for any complications.
What to Expect with the Abortion Pill
While the process and side effects can vary from person to person, there are some general effects that most of our patients from East Peoria, IL experience with the abortion pill. Once you have taken the second pill, which induces your body to expel the pregnancy, you’ll likely experience cramping, bleeding, and nausea. The cramping and bleeding can be compared to that of a moderate to heavy menstrual period. The bleeding is only a concern if you use more than 2 menstrual pads per hour for 2 or more hours. The nausea can come alongside a headache, diarrhea, fatigue, and vomiting. These are normal side effects and they should show improvement after 24 hours since taking the second pill.
