Ru-486, Mifeprex, Mifepristone | If you are under 10 weeks then the abortion pill is superior to surgery due to its convenience and high safety margin.
We know how difficult it is to have an unwanted pregnancy. We also know that if you need to abort it, you want to do it in a safe, confidential and private way that allows you to get back to your normal life as soon as possible. You also want to be seen quickly and not have to wait a long time to get an appointment.
We will want to meet you as soon as possible and discuss your options which will hopefully include taking the Abortion Pill. We will schedule an appointment for you as soon as possible. We are very sensitive to the fact that time is of the essence when trying to terminate. This is why we try to get you into our clinic quickly, before time starts to close off your options. We strive to give you an appointment within a couple of days usually, and sometimes the same day depending on which day you call us. It’s fine to come in and have a sonogram, get the facts, and decide to further consider your options. Knowing how far along you are as soon as possible is very important, because then you can gauge how much more time you have for the pill option.
Dignity, respect, compassion, affordability, without judgement.
We are a community women’s clinic and abortion center that provides low cost, affordable reproductive health care for the women of Southern California, located in Santa Ana, Orange County.
The Abortion Pill consists of two different medications taken 24 hours apart. The first, Mifeprex, will block the hormone that the pregnancy needs to grow. Most people don’t have any symptoms after taking this first medication, even though it is extremely important for the process to work. The second medication, Misoprostol, will interact with the uterus to bring about the cramps that will expel the pregnancy. The process is identical to a natural miscarriage, which means you will experience cramping pain followed by bleeding and passage of blood clots. The severity will depend on the age of the pregnancy; the earlier it is the less the cramping and bleeding that’s experienced. The pregnancy will be expelled along with the blood clots.
The good part about the medication is that it is not invasive, and no surgical procedure will usually be necessary. We want to avoid anything that places instruments inside the body if possible. The best practice in medicine is to approach treatment with the least amount of invasion into the body and therefore have the least risk. A surgical procedure should really only be performed if you are too far along for the pill to work, or in case the pill has already been taken and failed, which is very rare.
Yes, and when you are already in a situation that seems to be out of control, regaining some of that control is very empowering and allows you to better deal with everything. We strongly believe that giving control back to women is very helpful to allow them to have a more positive experience. Things are already difficult for you because of circumstances. We want to do our best to make it less difficult. Every little bit of power and control we give back to you takes more burden off from you and will hopefully lighten your heart a bit.
Yes, the Abortion Pill allows the termination to take place in the privacy of your home, in a place and time of your choosing. The privacy of your home is a place of comfort and relieves the stress of being surrounded by strangers.
The cost of the Abortion Pill can vary in California from $500 up to $1,100 depending on which clinic you visit. We ask that you call us to get the most up-to-date pricing in our clinic because our prices are subject to change. Currently, our cost for the abortion pill at Her Choice Women’s Clinic is $500. The fee includes your initial office visit, an initial ultrasound to determine how far you are into the pregnancy, the Abortion Pill Mifeprex and Misoprostol, blood work to check your blood type, and one follow-up visit to ensure the Abortion Pill was successful.
There’s nothing wrong with the Chain of Abortion Clinics like Planned Parenthood. However, we have a different philosophy to offering our family planning services. We are not a chain, and in fact, we are at one single location in Santa Ana. We don’t like treating our patients like an assembly line, and instead prefer to give you more personalized care. We feel it makes a big difference in the experience to not feel like a number in a chain. Also, we don’t use Physician Assistants or Certified Nurses as your primary caregivers. Our staff physician, Dr. Nasseri is a highly experienced Board Certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist in practice for over 20 years and specializes in family planning and abortion services. You will be guaranteed to receive your services from Dr Nasseri personally, including the performance of the ultrasound, and not from a mid-level provider that may not be as experienced. The quality of your caregiver and physician really does matter.
