everything you need to know about plan c

You just found out you’re pregnant and you weren’t exactly planning to have a baby right now.. So what are your options?

You may have heard of Plan C. Plan C is a way to order abortion medication online and self-manage your abortion in your own home. But is this the right option for you? Check out these important things to know before you order Plan C.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns potential purchasers of the dangers of taking abortion medication without physician oversight. Health history is very important when considering Plan C and any abortion procedure. Conditions such as allergies, an ectopic pregnancy, an IUD, and many others will influence whether or not Plan C will be an option for you.

Be sure you’re really pregnant. Twenty percent of pregnancies end by a natural miscarriage. Before ordering an expensive abortion from online, schedule a free limited ultrasound. At the CPC you can get a free limited ultrasound to determine if the pregnancy is viable and see how far along you are. It is important to know how far along you are before taking Plan C or having any abortion procedure. Long shipping times can render the abortion medication ineffective, thus leading you to decide on a second, more expensive, surgical abortion or carrying full term.

Another factor to consider before deciding on Plan C is the side effects. Medical abortions can have many side effects like severe cramping, bleeding for several days to several weeks, infection, vomiting, fever, headaches, etc. Some women need pain medication for their procedures, something you will not have with Plan C. Some sites have encouraged women that experience serious side effects and are in need of medical attention to lie to healthcare providers about taking Plan C. These sites encourage women to tell their doctors that they had a spontaneous miscarriage.
