Do I need an Ultrasound?

An important first step is confirming your pregnancy through an ultrasound. An ultrasound determines how far along you are—an essential detail that affects both the price and safety of any abortion procedure.

At Integra Pregnancy Services, you can receive a referral for an on-site limited ultrasound to confirm pregnancy at no cost. This step ensures you have accurate information before making any decision.

 

Types of Abortion

There are two main types of abortion: surgical and medical. Which one applies depends on how far along the pregnancy is and the regulations in your state.

  • Surgical abortion is a medical procedure performed by a doctor in a clinic or hospital setting to remove the contents of the uterus.¹ It typically costs more and involves clinical intervention.
  • Medical abortion (also known as the abortion pill) involves taking medication to end a pregnancy.² It is approved by the FDA for use up to 70 days after conception.

 

Cost of an Abortion

  • Surgical Abortion: The typical cost ranges between $800 and $2,000, depending on factors such as gestational age, required medications, and location.³ If travel to another state or additional medical care is necessary, total expenses can increase substantially.

  • Abortion Pill: Prices can vary widely, from free to around $800, depending on the source. Extra costs—like shipping or additional appointments—may apply. Because state laws and provider availability differ, legality and access can affect cost and process.

    (Note: Abortion remains legal in New York, but travel, insurance, and provider availability can still impact overall expenses.)

 

Risks of Ordering the Abortion Pill Online

Even when the abortion pill is legal in your state, ordering it online can pose serious risks—both medical and legal. Unregulated pills sold by international or unauthorized sellers may not meet FDA safety standards.⁴

Taking medication without confirming your pregnancy through a medical-grade pregnancy test or limited ultrasound can also be harmful. False positives on at-home pregnancy tests are possible, which means you might take medication unnecessarily or incorrectly.

At Integra Pregnancy Services, you can receive a free self-administered, lab-quality pregnancy test and a referral for an on-site limited ultrasound to confirm your results safely and accurately.

Self-administering the abortion pill without professional guidance may lead to complications such as incomplete abortion or infection.⁵ Seeking informed, compassionate guidance protects your health and safety.

It’s also important to know that between 10%–20% of all known pregnancies naturally end in miscarriage.⁶ Before making any decision, you may want to confirm whether your pregnancy is viable. A free ultrasound can help you learn more.
