What to think about before taking DIY abortion pills
We ALWAYS recommend that women receive an ultrasound before even considering taking abortion pills to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, most often inside a fallopian tube.
The symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy (abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding) are similar to what women experience after taking an abortion pill. Since DIY abortion pills will not work on an ectopic pregnancy, there is no way for a woman taking these pills to know whether the symptoms she's experiencing are from the pills themselves, or a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy.
Yes. As more and more women buy abortion pills online and through the mail, there are more and more cases of women facing life-threatening complications from taking these pills. In 2023, the New England Journal of Medicine reported on a 22-year-old woman who took DIY abortion pills and went to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. The hospital thought that she was just experiencing the symptoms of taking the abortion pill. When she came back to the hospital 6 days later, her fallopian tube had burst and she had to have life saving surgery.
