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 Yankton, 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 ZoeCare?

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.

Stay Safe

The FDA advises against the abortion pill for individuals who:

  • Have an ectopic pregnancy
  • Suffer from adrenal gland disorders
  • Are undergoing long-term corticosteroid therapy
  • Have previously had allergic reactions to mifepristone, misoprostol, or similar medications
  • Have bleeding disorders or are on anticoagulant medication
  • Suffer from inherited porphyria
  • Have an IUD in place (which must be removed before taking Mifeprex) Additional safety measures include:
  • Arranging a follow-up appointment
  • Ensuring immediate access to emergency medical care
  • Undergoing blood tests for RH factor Before finalizing your decision about an abortion, consider scheduling a no-cost pre-abortion screening at our clinic.

Your health and well-being are our top priority. Before you make a decision about abortion, we encourage you to take advantage of our free pre-abortion screening services. Schedule your appointment at our center today, and take the first step towards making an informed and safe choice for your future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Do I need an appointment?

Answer: Walk-ins are welcome. However, it is best to make an appointment to minimize your office wait time.

Question: What is the cost?

Answer: All our services are free and confidential.

Question: What should I expect when I come for my visit?

Answer: Upon your arrival, our friendly receptionist will introduce you to a registered nurse that will provide your care. This RN will offer you a judgement-free space to talk, followed by essential information and a pregnancy test. In the event of a positive test result, your nurse will perform a limited obstetric ultrasound to verify the pregnancy's viability and estimate the age of the fetus.

Question: How long after sex does it take for a pregnancy test to work and how accurate is the test?

Answer: Our tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A client with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.

If you have taken a home pregnancy test, you may want to confirm results with a laboratory-quality test at our medical office. Our tests detect HCg levels within 7 to 10 after conception.

Question: Will you tell anyone about my visit?

Answer: We maintain a rigorous privacy and confidentiality policy. Our clients' information is safeguarded against unauthorized disclosure, respecting their right to privacy, except in instances mandated by law. This includes situations necessary for public health, preventing harm to the client or others, or in specific circumstances where the use or disclosure of information is justified without prior consent, such as in cases of abuse reporting or suicide/homicide prevention.

Question: When should I schedule an appointment?

Answer: Our high-quality, medical-grade pregnancy tests are capable of detecting pregnancy from the first day after your initial missed period. We advise scheduling an appointment if you've missed a period, have any queries related to pregnancy, or suspect that you might be pregnant.

Question: How far along do I have to be to get a free ultrasound?

Answer: After an initial consultation with one of our RN's, we offer on-site ultrasound scans. These limited ultrasounds are conducted by “a registered nurse or a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS)” and are subsequently reviewed by a licensed physician. The purpose of an ultrasound is to confirm the viability of the pregnancy and to establish the gestational age.

Question: I already know I'm pregnant and I want an abortion, what's next?

Answer: It is advisable to have an ultrasound to confirm the viability of your pregnancy and to ensure it is located within the uterus, as 20% to 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Moreover, the ultrasound helps in determining the stage of your pregnancy, which is essential in making an informed decision about the type of abortion procedure you may consider. We offer a limited ultrasound free of charge.
