Call your local Planned Parenthood and they can answer all your questions for you. As an above answerer stated, there is no pill at this time that you can take. You would have to have a medical procedure to terminate the pregnancy. I'm not sure of the cost right now, but if you call, they will give you any and all information. And they will not just rush you into the procedure. You will talk with a counselor and be given more options than just the termination. You can make your decision after speaking to the counselor and having your questions answered. Good luck hon. And remember, it is your life and your body. It is your decision.~

You can still have a medication abortion (the pill kind). You WILL have pain with the medication abortion. Is that really the only reason you want to have an abortion is to avoid the pain of a miscarriage? Because there is definitely pain involved in having an abortion! Believe me!
I had an abortion (I did not have the pill kind), and while the actual procedure wasn't that painful the emotional aftermath was. It's the worst thing I've ever been through.
If you have your mind made up that you want an abortion and nobody is pressuring you, then call your local planned parenthood. The cost will vary on how much you make.
Please be 100% sure before calling planned parenthood!
Good luck to you and god bless.

I know how hard it is to lose a baby, I have lost 4 myself so i can understand why you would consider wanting an abortion,but why put yourself through that heartache and the cost of having an abortion when there is still that chance that you could go onto have miscarriage or that it might not even happen and you could go onto have a healthy bouncing baby boy/girl.
I can tell you from experience that if you go ahead with this abortion you will feel even more upset, guilty and hurt because you choose to terminate and gave up the chance that the pregnancy could have been a viable pregnancy and resulted in a baby.
Before you go ahead and make the dicision to terminate your pregnancy see your doctor and a counseller and let them know about your fears, there are blood tests available(HCG and others) and you can go for an early U/S and be able to see your lil bean growing healthy. But please before you make that choice be sure its what you really want to do because you will later on end up regretting it.
Goodluck

Yes there are abortion pills (misoprostil). You should call planned parenthood and they will be able to counsel you as to whether or not you should have the pills or a D&C, the pills are only for early pregnancy less than 7 or 8 weeks and you will bleed after you take them like having a miscarriage. Sometimes after taking the pills the abortion is incomplete and a D&C is required anyway, planned parenthood will counsel you to these risks.
As for costs it depends on where you live but in CA it's anywhere from 500 to 900 dollars.
I am pro-choice and respect your decision as it is your right handed down by the supreme court of the United States of America.
Hope this info was helpful!

Your body = your choice
Don't go into this lightly though, or expecting it to be easy.... Mifeprex induces miscarriage and a D&C is horrific and painful (but, there is a possibility that you'll have to have a D&C after the mifeprex , I suppose about the same chance of having one after a miscarriage). I don't want to scare you but inform you , either way I know it's scary for you.
Do what you feel you should do, noone here knows exactly what your life is like or what exactly you've gone through with the miscarriages. If your body just won't carry a baby, I can kinda' understand not wanting to just wait to lose the baby (that is if it's a definite chance you'll lose it), if your dr. knows you won't be able to carry then I think he could help you.
Most of all, don't let others opinions hurt you. If you plan to do this then, you don't want to let yourself be haunted furthermore by other peoples hurtful comments b/c either way.... it's going to be a huge deal in your life whether it be you miscarrying, abortion, adoption, or raising a child that you didn't want in the first place. Be strong and make sure that your making the right decision.... your a grown woman and I have faith that you know what the right decision is for you.

I had an abortion a few months ago. I didnt think it through. It was the worst experience of my life, I wouldnt recommend it for anyone. Im not trying to tell you what to do- so here are the facts. Yes there is a pill that causes you to have a miscarriage, they say it works effectively up to 7 weeks. But if you only want to do it because you dont want to deal with the pain of another miscarriage, thats exactly what you will have to deal with. Yes you bleed, and yes there is pain- also emotional pain, just like a miscarriage. and its not a quick and simple thing like they have you believe. I think you should think it through, speek with your fiance and dont try to talk to the clinic or a church group because they will both try to sway you their way. I think you should talk to your regular doctor. Please just dont do anything rash- You CANT take it back.

So you think killing a baby will be better than having a miscarriage?? How exactly do you think that is better? I'm sorry but that is so screwed up. God has a plan for that baby. Yes you lost your other babies but maybe this is the one. you have no right to play God and end its life. THats not your call!
The pill they give you at the "killing centers" or what you would call "abortion clinics" ....well what it does is first it starves your unborn baby... then it pulls it away from your uterus so it could be aborted.. now even though you are still early in pregnancy THAT IS STILL TORTURING! Don't you get it? Its murder!
How sad.

I am very sorry that you are thinking about aborting your baby, but ultimately it is your choice. I would suggest you talk to your doctor or planned parenthood as they can better help you. I believe that planned parenthood is free and if you just go to the doctor to talk they probably wont charge you.
However it also might be a wise idea to talk to some you are close to, a Friend or parent maybe. Perhaps you are having thoughts of abortion because you are sacred or overwhelmed.
I hope that I have been somewhat of a help to you and please remember that there are other alternative to abortion. Also Please talk to someone you trust.
Best wishes

You CAN take a pill at 4 weeks - in fact, I think you can take one at up to 8 weeks, but it might be 6. I know someone who works at a clinic and we've talked about the pill before. It gives you something like a period - possibly heavier and/or more painful. I don't know what the costs are, but someone at the clinic would be able to talk with you about that. Part of their job is to be understanding to those who are unsure about what they want to do. Your doc may be a good source, but I've heard of docs who push their personal beliefs about this issue as medical advice to their patients, so you'll have to be careful.
This is YOUR decision - don't let other people's beliefs influence what you feel is best for you at this time in your life and your situation. After all, it's not like they would be the one having to raise the child.

There is to a pill, you can get the pills up to 8 weeks but you are pretty much left on your own. you take one wherever you get it and the other you take at home and wait. It is exactly a miscarriage just self induced. It will hurt and you will bleed, but the amount of pain and bleeding varies from person to person. It can be very painful or just like mild period cramps. I looked into this option the last time I was pregnant but ended up having a miscarriage anyway. which wasnt painful just annoying but I had a miscarriage at 18 that put me on my knees.The cost varies also. From $300 to $500 is what i found.
