Place Between Pregnancy and Gyn Care
Medical Abortion: There are two steps and at least two visits to The Clinic! First you will receive counseling to understand how this option works. Mifeprex blocks the hormone necessary to maintain a pregnancy and followed by a second medicine, misoprostol, the uterus contracts to expel the pregnancy.
