Medication abortion is available up to 11 weeks after your last menstrual period in Illinois. During your appointment, an ultrasound will be conducted to determine how far along the pregnancy is and ensure that medication abortion is right for you.
Information on Medication Abortion
Medication abortion is:
FDA-Approved, non-invasive, safe and effective method to end an early pregnancy.
There is no waiting period in Illinois, so you will only need one appointment to get both the ultrasound conducted and the abortion pills.
Patients will take mifepristone (the abortion pill) at Rockford Family Planning and will receive misoprostol to take at home any time 24 to 48 hours after your appointment.
Most people will have a complete abortion within 4-24 hours of using misoprostol.
If medication abortion is not right for you, please go to INeedAnA.com or abortionfinder.org. Both organizations help connect patients with abortion care services across the United States.
