Recent Questions Others Are Asking
Do I need an ultrasound before an abortion?
Getting an ultrasound before an abortion is recommended because you will need to determine the gestational age of your pregnancy to know what type of abortion you may be eligible for to verify if you are actually pregnant.
What tests should I have before an abortion?
You should have a pregnancy test as well as STI/STD testing and treatment.
What happens during an abortion?
This depends on the type of abortion you get. If you get a medical abortion, you will be taking two different medications. One pill stops the supply of nutrients to the embryo, and the other pill expels the pregnancy tissue from your body.
If you get a surgical abortion such as a vacuum aspiration abortion, a doctor must insert a speculum to examine your uterus. Your cervix will be stretched open with dilators either before or during the procedure. Next, the doctor will insert a tube through the cervix into the uterus, which is attached to a suction device. This will empty the uterus of pregnancy contents, including the embryo.
