Massachusetts Abortion Pill By Mail

Abortion pill by mail in Massachusetts.

Abortion Pill By Mail

The medication known as the abortion pill, or Plan C, can be accessed through a clinic offering telehealth services or via online mail-order providers in Massachusetts. For those opting for the mail-order method, a telehealth consultation is typically necessary. During this virtual appointment, your medical provider will confirm your eligibility, and the medication will be mailed directly to you. This process does not require an in-person visit for a physical examination or ultrasound.

However, an ultrasound is a critical part of the process because it:

Determines the gestational age of the pregnancy – important as the abortion pill is approved for use up to 10 weeks from the last menstrual period.

Checks for ectopic pregnancies.

Assesses the viability of the pregnancy, noting that a significant number of pregnancies may end naturally in miscarriage.

At your local Massachusetts pregnancy center, they provide a complimentary ultrasound performed by a qualified medical professional. This ultrasound is part of our pre-abortion assessment and is offered at no cost.

The mail-order process generally involves scheduling a telehealth consultation during which a healthcare provider will discuss your medical history and answer any questions. If you qualify, the medication should arrive by mail within 24 to 72 hours. You can begin the procedure at home and will have a follow-up consultation via telehealth.

It’s important to note that not all services offering the abortion pill by mail use a telehealth model; some may only require a completed questionnaire without a follow-up consultation. While this might reduce the cost, it could increase potential risks.

Regardless of the method chosen, it is crucial to undergo a pre-abortion screening. At your local Massachusetts pregnancy center, their licensed medical professionals conduct these screenings, and their compassionate team is available to discuss all your options with you. Being fully informed is an essential step before proceeding with any abortion method.

Additional safety measures to consider include the necessity of a follow-up appointment, immediate access to emergency medical services, and blood testing for the RH factor.

Before deciding, we encourage you to schedule a no-cost pre-abortion screening at an Massachusetts pregnancy center. This is a vital step in ensuring your health and safety throughout the process.

The FDA advises that the abortion pill is not suitable for individuals who:

  • Have an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside of the uterus)
  • Experience adrenal gland disorders.
  • Are undergoing long-term corticosteroid therapy.
  • Have had an allergic reaction to any medication involved in the abortion pill protocol.
  • Have bleeding disorders or are on blood thinners.
  • Have inherited porphyria.
  • Have an intrauterine device (IUD) in place.

Answer:

The typical cost of the abortion pill ranges from $350 to $700, and it may be even higher depending on the provider. For the information you need, determine how far along you are in your pregnancy with our complimentary ultrasound services.

Question: How Can I Get the Abortion Pill?

Answer: You can get an abortion pill either through an abortion provider’s clinic or by an online mail source.  For mail order, 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.  A physical examination is important because it dates the pregnancy, rules out ectopic pregnancy, and determines viability (if you are at risk for miscarriage).  

Question: What are “Missed Period Pills?

Answer: sed period pill is another name for the abortion pill.  Some people may think it might help them psychologically if they’re unsure about abortion.  Regardless of its name, you should know that it is an abortion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Do I need an appointment?

Answer: Walk-ins are welcome. However, it is best to make an appointment to minimize your office wait time. 

Question: What is the cost?

Answer: All services are free and confidential.

Question: What should I expect when I come for my visit?

Answer: Upon your arrival, a friendly receptionist will guide you to meet your client advocate. This advocate will offer you a judgment-free space to talk, followed by essential information and a pregnancy test. In the event of a positive test result, a dedicated medical professional will perform a limited ultrasound to verify the pregnancy's viability and estimate the age of the fetus.

Question: How long after sex does it take for a pregnancy test to work and how accurate is the test?

Answer: Pregnancy tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A client with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.

If you have taken a home pregnancy test, you may want to confirm results with a laboratory-quality test at your local pregnancy center. These pregnancy tests detect HCg levels within 7 to 10 after conception.

Question: Will you tell anyone about my visit?

Answer: Pregnancy centers maintain a rigorous privacy and confidentiality policy. Clients' information is safeguarded against unauthorized disclosure, respecting their right to privacy, except in instances mandated by law. This includes situations necessary for public health, preventing harm to the client or others, or in specific circumstances where the use or disclosure of information is justified without prior consent, such as in cases of abuse reporting or suicide/homicide prevention.

Question: When should I schedule an appointment?

Answer: High-quality, medical-grade pregnancy tests are capable of detecting pregnancy from the first day after your initial missed period. We advise scheduling an appointment if you've missed a period, have any queries related to pregnancy, or suspect that you might be pregnant.

Question: How far along do I have to be to get a free ultrasound?

Answer: After an initial consultation with a client advocate, many pregnancy centers offer on-site ultrasound scans. These limited ultrasounds are conducted by a licensed nurse sonographer or a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS) and are subsequently reviewed by a licensed physician. The purpose of an ultrasound is to confirm the viability of the pregnancy and to establish the gestational age. 

Question: I already know I'm pregnant and I want an abortion, what's next?

Answer: It is advisable to have an ultrasound to confirm the viability of your pregnancy and to ensure it is located within the uterus, as 20% to 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Moreover, the ultrasound helps in determining the stage of your pregnancy, which is essential in making an informed decision about the type of abortion procedure you may consider. Many pregnancy centers offer a limited ultrasound free of charge.

Me and My Partner’s Experience Was Excellent!

"Our experience with them was excellent! Their response time is superb, calling the same day. They are very kind and they served the highest quality of their medical promise, not to mention it all being free. We were shown many resources that needy couples do not easily find. The environment is very home-like providing a space which is comfortable. The sonographers are down-to-earth and engage in comforting conversation before, during and after the sonogram. They are willing to keep in touch with you, and they will refer you to their extended team if you need help (i.e., free clinics, abortion references, insurance). I recommend pregnancy centers 100%, and if you are a woman or a couple which needs help, there isn't a better place to go. This team is not here to make a buck out of you: they care about you and will go above and beyond to do all they can to help you." Lamyka

A HUGE Blessing.

"The times I have interacted with our local pregnancy center have always proved to be a great experience. The work they do not only to help women in times of need with heartfelt compassion, but after that with assisting them with material goods such as diapers, car seats, etc. is awesome. Their devotion to helping women is truly inspiring." Theresa

These Ladies Deserve a 10 star Review!!!

"My experience was beautiful. The atmosphere was just what I needed. My husband and I found them on Google, and we decided to visit them after reviewing the amazing reviews. I must say they were very professional and caring. This is not your regular sonography center; they take their time to go through the entire process with you with so much love and care for FREE.
