WHY DO SOME WOMEN PREFER MEDICAL ABORTION?
• No anesthesia or surgery required
• It can be done very early in the pregnancy
• They feel more in control.
• They may feel it is less invasive
• More “natural”
• They may feel it’s more like a miscarriage
• It’s more private
• They have the abortion at home
What if I think I’m still pregnant after the abortion?
In around 1% of medical processes, the pregnancy may continue even after taking the medication. If you have continued symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea, vomiting, or breast tenderness you should contact us. A positive pregnancy test 2 to 3 weeks after your process began does not indicate a continued pregnancy. This may just be caused by the pregnancy hormones still in your system. If the pregnancy is continuing after the Medical Process we will perform the Surgical Procedure at our center at no extra cost to you.

What are the differences between the two options?
At Tumi Abortion clinic we mostly carry out Medical abortions, sometimes referred to as the abortion pill, uses pills/tablets to terminate a pregnancy. The first set of tablets is taken orally in the clinic and the second set is taken later at home
I just found out that I am pregnant, what are my options?
You have three options when facing an unplanned pregnancy.
You can carry the pregnancy to term and raise a child yourself; you can continue with the pregnancy and place the child for adoption or in foster care or you can choose to have an abortion to terminate the pregnancy.
It’s important that you take the time to consider all of your options and discuss the issue with your partner, a friend or a family member (if you feel safe and comfortable doing so). Ultimately the decision of whether or not to continue with the pregnancy should be yours.
Which option is better?
Neither option is better than the other. It’s a question of both personal choice and medical history that will determine the method that is best for you. Some women say they prefer to finish the procedure in one day, others feel that the medical process more suits their lifestyle. A nurse will provide all the details to help you decide during your consultation.
Can I fall pregnant after an abortion? How soon after?
You can conceive again as early as one week after an abortion so it’s important to talk to a nurse about a contraceptive method that’s right for you.
We have a wide range of contraceptive and family planning methods available for you to choose from.
WHEN CAN I GET BACK TO WORK OR SCHOOL?
Most women return to their usual activities the next day. You will need to avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for 2 weeks.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Some women (2-5%) may begin to bleed after using the medication in just about 30 minutes. The medication starts working within a matter of 2 to 3 hours varying from one person to another.
