This depends on how early or advanced the pregnancy is. Up to 20 weeks into a pregnancy, it\u2019s possible\u2014and safe\u2014to have an abortion at home with pills. This is also called a medication abortion or a medical abortion.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">After 10 weeks, depending on where you live, it\u2019s still possible to have a medication abortion in a healthcare facility. But after 12 weeks, the only option for ending a pregnancy is through a surgical procedure in a healthcare clinic.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">Here\u2019s a look at how home abortions work, the medications used, and when it\u2019s safe to have one.\u00a0<\/p><h2 class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 jXiuOG re-text\">Are at-home medication abortions safe?<\/h2><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">Yes, home medication abortions are safe. In the U.S., pregnancy can be terminated\u00a0<u>safely and legally at home<\/u>\u00a0up to week 10 of pregnancy. The\u00a0<u>FDA has approved<\/u> a medication regimen for up to 10 weeks (70 days or less since your last menstrual period). But some places may go beyond this.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">The only safe way to have an abortion at home is with medications prescribed by a trained medical professional after a consultation. The consultation may be in person at a hospital or clinic. This can also happen by phone or telehealth appointment.<\/p><h3 class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 bLILev re-text\">Are at-home abortions legal?<\/h3><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">At-home abortions for pregnancies 10 weeks or less are legal in most states in the U.S. But\u00a0<u>laws are changing around this<\/u>. Even in states where at-home abortions are legal, laws may now require a physician to be present when you take the first medication.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">Afterwards, you can usually go home and wait for the medication to take effect. And you can take the second medication at home.\u00a0<\/p><h2 class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 jXiuOG re-text\">How do you have a medication abortion at home?<\/h2><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">A medication (home) abortion\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.womensabortionclinicpretoria.co.za\/?page_id=8\"><u>involves taking two medications<\/u><\/a>. Unlike a surgical abortion, which is a same-day procedure, a medication abortion takes longer.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">Typically, you\u2019ll manage the outcome and symptoms at home over 2 to 3 days. So it\u2019s important to understand the steps and timeline so you know what to expect.\u00a0<\/p><h3 class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 bLILev re-text\">Step 1: Take mifepristone<\/h3><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">Here are the details of the first step:<\/p><ul class=\"sc-c50c0887-2 dTqvIp\"><li class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 eIgWYK sc-c50c0887-3 YceuD re-text\"><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">Take a 200 mg pill of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.womensabortionclinicpretoria.co.za\/?page_id=8\"><u>mifepristone<\/u><\/a>\u00a0by mouth.\u00a0<\/p><\/li><li class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 eIgWYK sc-c50c0887-3 YceuD re-text\"><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">Depending on your preference and state laws, this might be at home or in a clinic.\u00a0<\/p><\/li><li class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 eIgWYK sc-c50c0887-3 YceuD re-text\"><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">This medication stops the pregnancy from growing.\u00a0<\/p><\/li><li class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 eIgWYK sc-c50c0887-3 YceuD re-text\"><p class=\"sc-1pf85vx-0 dvvqNU re-text\">There are minimal symptoms at this stage.
