The Process

  1. Consent Visit
    In accordance with the state of Florida guidelines, patients will have ultrasound, lab work and a meeting with a physician. The next visit cannot be scheduled any sooner than 24 hrs.
  2. Abortion Visit
    The patient takes the first medication, Mifepristone, orally at our office at least 24 hours after your consultation visit. Nothing should occur until the next step.
  3. In Your Home
    In the privacy of your own home, you will take pain management medication and administer four tablets of Misoprostol at a specified time. Within the next few hours, the patient will experience bleeding (light to heavy) and some cramping which is the miscarriage. Patients often choose to make arrangements for childcare and schedule the day off from work.
  4. Follow-Up
    All patients should return to our Center for a follow-up visit within 7 days so that we can confirm that the process is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the Abortion Pill?

The Abortion Pill is also known as the "medical abortion" or "medication abortion". It is a method of terminating early pregnancy using two medications, Mifepristone and Misoprostol. This method is non-invasive and does not require any surgical procedures.

  • How do abortion pills work​?

The first medication, Mifepristone, is taken orally and works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary to sustain a pregnancy. This causes the lining of the uterus to break down, preventing the embryo from continuing to grow. The second medication, Misoprostol, is taken 24-48 hours later and causes contractions in the uterus to expel the contents.

  • How Effective is the Abortion Pill?

The abortion pill in West Palm Beach is highly effective, with a success rate of 95-98% when taken within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. However, it is important to follow the instructions carefully and attend your follow up appointment to ensure that the abortion was successful. A follow up appointment is included in the cost of a medication abortion and will be scheduled before you leave the clinic with the medication.

  • What are the Side Effects of the Abortion Pill?

The most common side effects of the abortion pill include cramping, bleeding, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms are similar to a heavy period and usually subside within a few days. In rare cases, more serious complications such as heavy bleeding or infection may occur. We will give you a number to access a nurse 24/7 to discuss any concerns or complications you have during your medication abortion process.

  • What Happens After Taking the Abortion Pill?

After taking the abortion pill in West Palm Beach, it is common to experience bleeding and cramping as the body expels the pregnancy tissue. It is important to continue following up with your healthcare provider for a follow-up appointment to ensure that the abortion was successful and there are no complications.
