A safe, non-surgical medication option utilizing FDA-approved prescription protocols to terminate an early pregnancy up to 10 weeks gestation. Performed with professional on-site evaluation and 24/7 medical backup.
Highly effective, private, and non-invasive protocol managed under strict board-certified medical supervision.
A medication abortion is highly effective, but it requires careful screening to protect your safety. We perform standard diagnostic protocols to rule out risks like ectopic pregnancies before prescribing treatment.
Understanding exactly when and how to take each prescription layer ensures a safe, effective, and completely predictable at-home process.
Following evaluation, you take the first pill (Mifepristone) in our office. This medication stops the pregnancy from developing by blocking the primary hormone needed to maintain it. Most patients experience no significant physical symptoms during this phase.
You place the second medication tablets (Misoprostol) inside your cheeks to dissolve at home. This medicine causes the uterus to contract and empty. Heavy, period-like bleeding, tissue passage, and severe cramping typically begin within 1 to 4 hours.
Cramping decreases significantly after tissue passes, though light spotting or lighter bleeding can safely persist for days or a few weeks. We prescribe preventive prophylactic antibiotics to take as your bleeding begins to protect your recovery.
You return to Parkmed NYC 14 to 21 days later. We perform a follow-up urine test, ultrasound, and physical examination to mathematically verify that the pregnancy has fully ended and that you have recovered safely.
Monitor your physical recovery parameters carefully using these explicit clinical thresholds.
| Physical Indicator | Normal & Expected Symptoms | Urgent Symptoms Requiring Action |
|---|---|---|
| Bleeding Levels | Heavy, period-like bleeding with large blood clots passing during the first 12 hours. Lighter spotting can safely persist for days or weeks. | Completely soaking through more than two maxi pads per hour for two consecutive hours. |
| Cramping & Pain | Moderate to strong abdominal cramping as the uterus empties. Can be managed with recommended oral over-the-counter pain medications and heating pads. | Severe, worsening abdominal pain that does not decrease after taking your recommended pain medication. |
| Body Temperature | A mild, temporary elevation in temperature or chills immediately following the second medication layer (Misoprostol). | Developing a persistent clinical fever higher than 100.4°F (38°C) that lasts longer than 24 hours. |
| Systemic Issues | Mild, temporary nausea, brief vomiting, or diarrhea during the active phase of the tissue passage. | Persistent vomiting lasting longer than 4 to 6 hours, severe ongoing weakness, or fainting spells. |
