At Home Abortion

When deciding on an at-home abortion, there are primarily two pathways: arranging a telehealth consultation followed by receiving the necessary medication by mail, or visiting a local abortion provider in Maryland.

Many opt for a telehealth consultation to assess their suitability for a medication-induced abortion (known as the abortion pill or Plan C). Nonetheless, telehealth practitioners are unable to conduct physical exams, including ultrasounds, which are crucial for determining the appropriate abortion method. Such consultations can’t verify an ongoing viable pregnancy, nor can they exclude the possibilities of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, a preliminary screening before deciding on a pregnancy termination is crucial.

Why consider ABC Women’s Health & Ultrasound Center?

We offer free services that confirm several vital factors, intended to equip you with the information you need as you consider your next steps.

• Assessing fetal age (this will determine what procedures are available to you)
• Checking for signs of miscarriage (as many as 1 in 4 known pregnancies end in natural miscarriage, a positive pregnancy test alone doesn’t confirm a viable pregnancy)
• Excluding an ectopic pregnancy (which can be life-threatening in some instances)

Our qualified staff conducts these screenings. Our staff is also available to discuss all available options with you. Understanding all facts and risks associated with abortion is an essential step prior to commencing any procedure.

The FDA advises against the abortion pill for individuals who:

• Have an ectopic pregnancy
• Suffer from adrenal gland disorders
• Are undergoing long-term corticosteroid therapy
• Have previously had allergic reactions to mifepristone, misoprostol, or similar medications
• Have bleeding disorders or are on anticoagulant medication
• Suffer from inherited porphyria

• Arrange a follow-up appointment
