How do I order pills?

Starting the treatment process is simple…

4. Provide your delivery address and send payment.
5. A medical Doctor reviews your profile and generally writes a prescription.
6. Pills are mailed to you from a foreign based pharmacy with instructions.

Is this Legal?

You might be interested to know the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved mifepristone (the first of two medicines used in a medication abortion) in 2000 to end pregnancies up to 10 weeks. In 2021 the FDA began allowing certain medical providers to mail abortion pills directly to patient’s homes. The trend has been moving, albeit slowly, in favor of a Woman’s right to govern her care. At the same time, for political or religious reasons (not for medical reasons), some states in the USA have been moving independently to limit or restrict early abortion altogether. When you purchase from AbortDr.com you are initiating treatment with a Doctor in a foreign country and making a personal importation of these medicines from an established pharmacy in a foreign country. Here is what the FDA says about importation of small amounts of drugs for personal use:

“In most circumstances, it is illegal for individuals to import drugs into the United States for personal use. FDA, however, has a policy explaining that it typically does not object to personal imports of drugs that FDA has not approved under certain circumstances, including the following situation:

• The drug is for use for a serious condition for which effective treatment is not available in the United States;
• There is no commercialization or promotion of the drug to U.S. residents;
• The drug is considered not to represent an unreasonable risk;
• The individual importing the drug verifies in writing that it is for his or her own use, and provides contact information for the doctor providing treatment or shows the product is for the continuation of treatment begun in a foreign country; and
• Generally, not more than a 3-month supply of the drug is imported.”

How to take abortion pills and what to expect?

The patient begins the abortion in the comfort of their home by taking the medications as follows. Think about having someone you trust with you (or nearby) who you can call for support if you need anything.

Step 1: Swallow one mifepristone (200 mg) pill with water. ‍

Wait 24-48 hours.

Choose a time to start Step 2 when you’ve had a good meal and plenty of rest.

30 minutes before Step 2, take 800 mg of ibuprofen (4 over-the-counter tablets). This will help decrease your cramps and bleeding, which usually start a few hours after Step 2. Don’t take aspirin as this can make you bleed more.

Step 2: Place 4 (four) misoprostol pills (800 mcg) inside your vagina OR between your cheeks and gums for 30 minutes
You must complete Step 2 even if you have started bleeding.

Vaginal:
• Either in a squatting position or lying on your back or side, use your finger to push 4 misoprostol tablets, one by one, deep into your vagina (at least one finger’s distance inside). After the pills are inserted, lie down and wait for 30 minutes.

Buccal (between cheeks and gums):
• Put 2 misoprostol pills on one side of your mouth (between your cheek and gums), and the other 2 on the other side of your mouth. Wait 30 minutes for the pills to dissolve, then swallow what is left of the pills. It is okay to swallow your saliva as the pills dissolve.

The medicine will work the same if you take it in your cheeks (buccally), but it can cause more nausea and other side effects.

For most people, the cramping and bleeding usually starts 1-4 hours after taking the misoprostol. It’s normal to see large blood clots (up to the size of a lemon) or clumps of tissue when this is happening. It’s a lot like having a really heavy, crampy period and the process is very similar to an early miscarriage. If you don’t have any bleeding within 24 hours after taking the second medicine, misoprostol, call your nurse or doctor as this could be a sign of ectopic pregnancy.

The cramping and bleeding can last for several hours. Most people finish passing the pregnancy tissue in 4-5 hours, but it may take longer. The cramping and bleeding slows down after the pregnancy tissue comes out. You may have cramping on and off for 1 or 2 more days.

Step 3: This step is only needed if:
• You are more than 9 weeks pregnant. Wait 4 hours after Step 2 then complete Step 3.
–or–
• ‍You are less than 9 weeks pregnant, AND, you have not had bleeding as heavy as a period 24 hours after Step 2.

Place 4 misoprostol pills (800 mcg) between your cheeks and gums for 30 minutes.

As done earlier, put 2 misoprostol pills on one side of your mouth (between your cheek and gums), and the other 2 on the other side of your mouth. Wait 30 minutes for the pills to dissolve, then swallow what is left of the pills.

Who can I talk to for support after I’ve had an abortion?

Once you are no longer pregnant, you may feel relieved. You may also feel sad or moody, which is normal. Your body will have hormonal changes now that you’re no longer pregnant. If you’re not feeling okay emotionally you can get support through Exhale’s free counseling service. They have a national textline that provides emotional support, resources and information. All texts are completely confidential and counselors offer support without judgment. If you’d prefer to call, Connect & Breathe’s confidential, toll-free talkline is available at 866-647-1764. Their talkline is staffed by trained volunteers, offering secular, unbiased information.

How will I feel after taking the abortion pill?

How you feel during and after a medication abortion varies from person to person. On the day you take your second medicine, plan on resting and being in a comfortable place. You may feel tired for 1 or 2 days after, but you should be back to normal soon.

You can go back to work, school, driving, and most other normal activities the next day if you feel up to it. But DON’T do hard work or heavy exercise for several days. You should start to feel better as the days go by, but call your doctor or health center if you still feel ill.

After your abortion is complete, cramping and bleeding should lighten up as the hours and days go by. You may also have tender breasts, and they may leak a milky discharge. That should stop in a couple of days. Wearing a snug-fitting bra will help you feel more comfortable.

Any chills, fevers, or nausea you have should go away pretty quickly. Call your doctor or health center right away if you have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or a fever for more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol (the second set of pills). It could be a sign of an infection.

What happens if I take the abortion pill after 11 weeks?

The abortion pill is very effective, but it works less well when you’re more than 8 weeks pregnant. The effectiveness depends on how far along you are in your pregnancy and when you take the medicine. After 11 weeks, there’s a bigger chance of stronger bleeding or cramps.

You can make sure that your medication abortion worked by taking a pregnancy test, ultrasound, or blood test.

A Note about “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” or “Women’s HELP Centers”

CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTERS or Women’s HELP Centers are groups that are specifically against abortion for any reason, although they may advertise themselves in ways that make this unclear. Rachel’s Vineyard, affiliated with Catholic Churches who oppose legal abortion, also sponsor support groups for Women who have had abortions. Although there is value in being able to talk to other Women who have had abortions, the anti-abortion agenda of Rachel’s Vineyard or Crisis Pregnancy Centers may make it difficult to get the kind of help you need to heal. And they may ask you to take a political stand against abortion.

Can the abortion pill be reversed after you’ve taken it?

Taking both medicines begins a process within your body that generally cannot be reversed. Studies on the abortion pill do show that if you take the first medicine (Mifepristone) but not the second (Misoprostol), the abortion process is less likely to work. So if you’ve begun the process of having an abortion using pills but are having second thoughts, contact a Doctor or Nurse right away to talk about your best next steps and what to expect.

Can I get financial assistance to help pay for my abortion?

In the U.S. there are Abortion funds that may be able to offer help paying for your abortion. Abortion funds can sometimes help with transportation, lodging, childcare, and other resources you may need to access abortion. The National Network of Abortion Funds connects people with organizations that can provide financial and logistical support for people getting abortions in the U.S. If you’re worried about cost, call your nearest Planned Parenthood health center to learn about options for getting health care that you can afford.
