At Home Abortion

Opting for an abortion at home is a deeply personal decision. It gives a woman the flexibility to choose her support system, whether she prefers the company of loved ones for emotional backing or desires privacy. However, some are apprehensive about at-home abortions, viewing them as potentially more prolonged and risky compared to surgical procedures in clinical settings due to the possibility of complications occurring away from medical facilities.

At-home abortion is not available in the state of South Dakota; therefore it is important to consider the significant travel necessary to receive this medical procedure. Before traveling out of state, women are encouraged to receive an ultrasound to verify an ongoing viable pregnancy and exclude the possibility of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.  This information is necessary for determining the appropriate abortion method. A preliminary screening before deciding on a pregnancy termination is crucial.

Why consider Us?

Our clinic offers a complimentary pre-abortion screening, confirming several vital factors:

• Assessing fetal age (a positive pregnancy test alone doesn’t confirm a viable pregnancy)
• Checking for signs of miscarriage (as many as 1 in 4 known pregnancies may end in miscarriage)
• Excluding an ectopic pregnancy (which can be life-threatening in some instances)

Our qualified medical team conducts these screenings. Our staff is also available to discuss all available options with you. Understanding all facts and risks associated with abortion is an essential step prior to commencing any procedure.
