Abortion Pill Clinic Clearwater Florida: Abortion Pill Procedure - 3 to 14 weeks

Abortion Pill Clinic Clearwater Florida: Abortion Pill Procedure - 3 to 14 weeks

The Abortion Pill Procedure (medical abortion, mifeprex, mifepristone, RU 486, Abortion Pill) has swiftly gained favor in the U.S. since 2001 when the FDA approved RU486 for terminating pregnancy between 3 and 7 weeks. There have been multiple studies in the U.S. and throughout the world that demonstrate the abortion pill is effective up to 9 weeks from a patient's last menstrual period with minimum side effects. RU 486 has been investigated in several countries both on an in and outpatient basis and found to be efficacious and safe up to 14 weeks from the last menses. We have been performing the abortion pill procedure up to 14 weeks on an outpatient basis in our Women's Centers for approximately 20 years and have established it to be highly effective with nominal side effects. Although we do not have a Abortion Clinic in Clearwater Florida, our Women's Center of Hyde Park located in Tampa, Florida is not beyond a 30 minute drive. The advantage of coming to us is that we 1) perform the medical abortion procedure up to 14 weeks on a outpatient basis, 2) are less costlythan anyone in the Clearwater area (by over $100.00 to $150.00), 3) you can be in and out of our office generally in 2 to 4 hours, whereas it may take 4 to 7 hours in the Clearwater facilities, 4) Privacy is greater, and 5) our staff is comforting, friendly, compassionate and the most caring, 5) there is someone that is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week by phone or e-mail if you have any problems or questions that need to be answered without delay. There are no other family planning offices where there is e-mail access 24 hours a day except for our medical facilities.

It is well studied that patients less than 6 weeks gestation, who receive RU 486 only, has a 40 to 60% success rate of expelling the pregnancy tissue (i.e., miscarriage). In order to reduce the period of time it took to complete the abortion process, along with diminishing the chance of uterine infection, vaginal bleeding or having retained tissue, Cytotec (misoprostol) was added. Cytotec is a prostaglandin known to cause uterine contractions. RU 486 causes an increase in the intrauterine pressure and separates the pregnancy tissue from the uterine wall. Changes also occur locally in the cervix (lower part of the womb) allowing the cervix to dilate (open) and become soft which helps the pregnancy tissue to be discharged from the uterus. This process can take on average between 4 to 6 hours after insertion of the Cytotec tablets. On average, there is a 2 to 6% failure rate using the combination of RU 486 and Cytotec to carry out the abortion procedure on patients between 3 and 14 weeks pregnant. Patients less than 6 weeks gestation have a 97 to 99% success rate. In essence, the earlier in gestation the abortion pill procedure is enacted, the greater the success rate.

Abortions using RU 486 and Cytotec are associated with minimal complications. Side effects of RU 486 can include the possibility of headache, abdominal discomfort and diarrhea. Initial chills, fever, nausea vomiting and diarrhea can occur with the use of Cytotec.

Complications associated with the abortion procedure in general are retained (tissue remains behind in uterus) or nonperformance of the procedure, continued or excessive bleeding, all of which require a surgical abortion procedure to be performed. In rare cases, blood transfusions have been needed, and there have been reports of isolated deaths due to a rare type of infection. There has been no conclusion that these deaths were directly caused by the abortion procedure. In general, patients who are further along in their pregnancy have more discomfort with their uterine contractions, and there is a slightly greater probability of a continued pregnancy which requires surgical removal of the pregnancy.

In summary, medical abortion with RU 486 and Cytotec has been used for several years to terminate pregnancies up to 9 weeks gestation and can now be used in numerous cases up to 14 weeks gestation. There are no abortion clinics in Clearwater Florida offering the abortion pill procedure up to 14 weeks or have our very low cost procedure prices. We encourage you to make the short trip to our Women's Center of Hyde Park medical facility located in Tampa, Florida. Patients who are further than 10 weeks must be aware that they may see fetal tissue if they look at the material that is discharged from their vagina. So we ask patients who think this may disturb them in some manner to avoid looking at the pregnancy tissue. Otherwise; performing the Abortion Pill procedure up to 14 weeks is to a significant degree safe and effective alternative to the surgical abortion.
