Abortion is a medical procedure to end a pregnancy by removing tissue from the uterus. It can be performed with an in-clinic procedure or using medication, depending on the gestational age.

When performed by trained medical professionals in a regulated healthcare setting, abortion is generally very safe. Statistically, abortion is safer than childbirth. Complications are rare, especially during the early stages of pregnancy.

The abortion pill is highly effective, working in about 92 out of every 100 cases.

At Midwest Reproductive Health, medical abortions can be performed up to 11 weeks. In Illinois, abortion is legal up to viability. If you are past the first trimester, please review our list of recommended clinics here.

Abortion does not lead to infertility. When performed by trained professionals following medical guidelines, abortion does not affect a person's ability to conceive or carry future pregnancies.

As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, but complications are rare. Risks might include bleeding, infection, or, in extremely rare cases, damage to the uterus.

Personal circumstances, health, access to healthcare, emotional readiness, and discussions with a healthcare provider are crucial factors to consider when contemplating an abortion. Having an abortion is a deeply personal choice. We want to ensure that you are making the best decision for yourself without fear or coercion. We are here provide you with compassionate, non-judgmental care.

A normal period should begin 4 to 8 weeks after your abortion. It varies depending on the individual. The body may or may not need some time to re-establish its cycles.

It is possible to have some light irregular bleeding during pregnancy, but it should not be like a “normal” period. Some people can confuse this for their period because often it can come around the time they were expecting their normal period. The irregular bleeding or spotting that can occur during pregnancy is often a dark brown color or a light pinkish.

There is no “best” method of birth control. Each method has its pros and cons, and everyone has their own unique preferences for which method they prefer. A great place to start is this quiz.

Emergency contraception, also known as emergency birth control or the "morning-after pill," is a method used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, contraceptive failure, or sexual assault. It's not the same as medication abortion. This type of contraception involves taking specific pills or using an intrauterine device (IUD) after unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy. It works by delaying or preventing ovulation, fertilization, or implantation of the egg in the uterus. It's essential to take emergency contraception as soon as possible after unprotected sex for better effectiveness, but it can be used within a few days (up to 5 days) after intercourse, depending on the type.

Yes! We often have emergency contraception pills available for free without an appointment – but please call us first to make sure we have it available before coming in.
