Abortion Pill By Mail Norwich, CT
Abortion Pill By Mail Norwich, CT
You can get the abortion pill (also known as Plan C) either through an abortion provider’s clinic telehealth service or by an online mail source. For abortion by mail, in most cases, a telehealth appointment is required and the medication for the abortion is sent directly to you without an in-person physical examination and ultrasound. An ultrasound is important because:
- it dates the pregnancy, so you know how far along you are (the abortion pill is available up to 10 weeks after the first day of your last menstrual period)
- rules out ectopic pregnancy
- determines viability (up to 1 in 4 known pregnancies end in miscarriage).
At Pathways Pregnancy we will provide a free ultrasound referral conducted by a licensed medical professional.
The steps by mail-order generally include booking an online appointment for a telehealth visit where you will speak with a provider and answer questions. If you meet their criteria, you should receive the pills by mail within 24 – 72 hours. You then start the abortion pill procedure at-home and follow-up with a telehealth clinician.
Not all abortions by mail are conducted through telehealth. Some online providers require only a questionnaire to be submitted and no follow-up telehealth visit. The cost may be lower, but the risks may be higher.
At the Pathways Pregnancy, our staff can discuss your options with you. Knowing all the facts before making a decision is a vital next step.
Be Safe
According to the FDA, the abortion pill is not a safe option for those who:
- has an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside of the uterus)
- has problems with the adrenal glands (the glands near the kidneys)
- is currently being treated with long-term corticosteroid therapy (medications)
- has had an allergic reaction to the medications used in the medication abortion protocol
- has bleeding problems or is taking anticoagulant (blood thinning) drug products
- has inherited porphyria
- has an intrauterine device (IUD) in place
Other safety considerations:
- the need for a follow-up visit
- having immediate access to emergency care
- blood testing for RH factor
