ABORTION PILL INFORMATION Oklahoma
If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy and considering at-home abortion in Oklahoma, you may be looking for more information on buying abortion pills online or self-induced abortion methods such as herbal abortion. We provide free ultrasound services to confirm and date your pregnancy. The gestational age of your pregnancy determines the type of abortion procedure usually recommended. Many telehealth abortion providers require an ultrasound before administering abortion pills, and we offer this service at no cost.

AT-HOME ABORTION PILL
Before Taking The Abortion Pill
Prior to taking the abortion pills, it is vital that you see a medical provider, in person, during a private appointment. A medical provider can prevent or diagnose complications before taking the abortion pill. 1,2
Medication abortion (also called the abortion pill) is FDA approved for up to 70 days (10 weeks pregnant) after the start of your last menstrual period.
- The “pill” is actually a protocol that involves taking two drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, which are taken in two separate doses on different days.
- The FDA strongly cautions against the use of mifepristone obtained over the Internet. 3
- The abortion pills are different from emergency contraception, sometimes called the “morning-after pill”.
MEDICAL ABORTION ISN’T AN OPTION IF YOU
- Are too far along in your pregnancy. You shouldn’t attempt a medical abortion if you’ve been pregnant for more than nine weeks (after the start of your last period). Some types of medical abortion aren’t done after seven weeks of pregnancy.
- Have an intrauterine device (IUD) currently in place.
- Suspect you have a pregnancy outside of the uterus. This is called ectopic pregnancy.
- Have certain medical conditions. These include bleeding disorders; certain heart or blood vessel diseases; severe liver, kidney or lung disease; or an uncontrolled seizure disorder.
- Take a blood thinner or certain steroid medicines.
- Can’t make follow-up visits to your provider or don’t have access to emergency care.
- Have an allergy to the medicine used.
Why should I have an ultrasound?
Especially if I’m considering abortion?
Although abortion is not legal in Oklahoma and mailing abortion pills is banned under Oklahoma law, there are still important steps you can take right here in Oklahoma - especially if you are considering abortion services. One of the most critical is scheduling a free and confidential ultrasound at one of our clinics. An ultrasound can confirm whether you have a viable pregnancy and determine how far along you are - key information that affects what type of abortion procedure you may be eligible for in another state. While we do not provide abortion services or the abortion pill, we are here to confirm pregnancy and explain the different methods of abortion based on gestational age, helping you make an informed decision about your next steps.
- LEARN HOW FAR ALONG YOU ARE: A medication abortion could be very dangerous for you if your pregnancy is further along than you know. You shouldn’t attempt a medical abortion if you’ve been pregnant for more than nine weeks (after the start of your last period). Some types of medical abortion aren’t done after seven weeks of pregnancy.(5)
- WHETHER OR NOT YOUR PREGNANCY IS LOCATED IN THE UTERUS: If the pregnancy is ectopic (in which your pregnancy is progressing in the wrong part of your body), you will require immediate medical treatment.(6)
- IS THE PREGNANCY VIABLE?: About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. But the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur very early in pregnancy.(7)
Save yourself time and money. All of our services are free and confidential, regardless of financial circumstances. We exist to provide accurate medical information and support to women and men facing an unplanned pregnancy.
