When Can I get an Abortion?

Why Confirming Gestational Age is an Important First Step

Determining when you can get an abortion depends on several factors, including where you live, your current physical health, and the current stage of your pregnancy. The first step is to determine how far along you are in your pregnancy, also known as gestational age.

A common method to estimate gestational age is by counting the weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period. This provides an initial estimate. However, an ultrasound is typically needed to confirm the exact gestational age.

The gestational age is crucial as it determines the types of abortion procedures that may be available to you. Each stage of pregnancy may have different options, so it's essential to confirm your gestational age accurately. Our center can provide the necessary support and resources to help you understand your options and make informed decisions about your pregnancy.
