Considering your options? It's important to understand how abortion procedures work. The type of abortion available depends primarily on the stage of pregnancy.
**Medication Abortion (also called the abortion pill):** Typically used up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, this involves taking two medications prescribed by a doctor to end the pregnancy.
**In-Clinic Abortion (also called surgical abortion):** This involves a gentle suction to remove the pregnancy tissue. Different techniques are used depending on the gestational age. Common methods include vacuum aspiration (usually up to 14 weeks) and dilation and evacuation (D&E) later in pregnancy.
It's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss your specific situation, understand the procedures in detail, including potential risks and benefits, and receive personalized medical advice. They can help you choose the safest and most appropriate option for you. Accessing accurate and reliable information is paramount when making such important decisions.
