Abortion under 16 weeks

The in-clinic procedure is completed in one visit in the office. Compared to a medication/pill abortion, the procedure is shorter and completed in a predictable period, with a slightly higher successful completion rate. The side effects and risks are similar to a medication/pill abortion.

Research has proven over and over that first trimester abortion is extremely safe. It has no long term risks such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, or birth defects. There is no association between abortion and breast cancer. When facing an unplanned pregnancy, there are no greater mental health issues in women who choose abortion than in those who carry the pregnancy to term.

Common side effects include abdominal cramping or pain and bleeding, and possibly nausea and sweating. Women may also experience spotting for two to six weeks following the procedure. Complications are very rare but can include uterine or cervical perforation, pelvic infection, and excess bleeding. Patients will be educated on warning signs of complications and encouraged to contact us immediately if symptoms develop.
