Why an early ultrasound matters\u2014especially before taking abortion pills<\/b><\/h2>\n

Why should I get an ultrasound before an abortion?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Even if you\u2019re planning to take the abortion pill, an ultrasound may be required by telehealth providers before prescribing the medication. Here\u2019s why:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It\u2019s vital to know how far along you are in your pregnancy.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Abortion methods differ based on how far along you are in your pregnancy. The abortion pill is only FDA-approved for up to ten weeks gestation. An ultrasound can accurately measure the gestational age and equip you to make an informed decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In order to rule out an ectopic pregnancy.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Sometimes a pregnancy develops outside the uterus, typically in a fallopian tube. This is called an ectopic pregnancy, and it can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Abortion pills will not treat this condition. An ultrasound confirms the location of your pregnancy to ensure your safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. It\u2019s important to confirm viability.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        An ultrasound can detect whether your pregnancy is progressing normally and check for a fetal heartbeat. If there\u2019s no heartbeat or development, you may be having a miscarriage and could need additional medical care.<\/span><\/p>\n
