Abortion Pill By Mail

The medication known as the abortion pill, or Plan C, can be accessed through a clinic offering abortion services or via online mail-order providers in Punta Gorda, Florida. For those opting for the mail-order method, a telehealth consultation is typically necessary. During this virtual appointment, your medical provider will confirm your eligibility, and the medication will be mailed directly to you. This process does not require an in-person visit for a physical examination or ultrasound.

However, an ultrasound is a critical part of the process because it:

Determines the gestational age of the pregnancy – important as the abortion pill is approved for use up to 10 weeks from the last menstrual period.

Checks for ectopic pregnancies.

Assesses the viability of the pregnancy, noting that a significant number of pregnancies may end naturally in miscarriage.

We provide a complimentary ultrasound performed by a qualified medical professional. This ultrasound is part of our pre-abortion assessment and is offered at no cost.

The mail-order process generally involves scheduling a telehealth consultation during which a healthcare provider will discuss your medical history and answer any questions. If you qualify, the medication should arrive by mail within 24 to 72 hours. You can begin the procedure at home and will have a follow-up consultation via telehealth.

It’s important to note that not all services offering abortion via mail use a telehealth model; some may only require a completed questionnaire without a follow-up consultation. While this might reduce the cost, it could increase potential risks.

The FDA advises that the abortion pill is not suitable for individuals who:

Have an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside of the uterus)
Experience adrenal gland disorders.
Are undergoing long-term corticosteroid therapy.
Have had an allergic reaction to any medication involved in the abortion pill protocol.
Have bleeding disorders or are on blood thinners.
Have inherited porphyria.
Have an intrauterine device (IUD) in place.

Regardless of the method chosen, it is crucial to undergo a pre-abortion screening. Our licensed medical professionals conduct these screenings, and our compassionate staff is available to discuss all your options with you. Being fully informed is an essential step before proceeding with any abortion method.

Additional safety measures to consider include the necessity of a follow-up appointment, immediate access to emergency medical services, and blood testing for the RH factor.

Before deciding, we encourage you to schedule a no-cost pre-abortion screening. This is a vital step in ensuring your health and safety throughout the process.
