What Happens if the Abortion Pill Fails? Understanding Your Options and Next Steps

Are you considering the abortion pill as an option, but worried about what happens if the abortion pill fails? Understanding your options and next steps is essential to make an informed decision. At Problem Pregnancy Center, we believe in providing free, compassionate support and information to those facing an unexpected pregnancy and considering an abortion. Our mission is to provide women with the free resources they need such as pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, options counseling, and more to learn about their available options and make the best decision for their situation.

Confirming Your Pregnancy: The First Crucial Step

Before considering any course of action, the first and most crucial step is to confirm whether you are pregnant. It’s possible to experience symptoms that mimic pregnancy, such as hormonal imbalances or stress-related issues, as well as receive a false result from an at-home pregnancy test. At Problem Pregnancy Center, we offer free pregnancy tests followed by an ultrasound and options counseling to help you understand your situation accurately. 

Our compassionate and experienced staff is here to support you through this initial step, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of your situation before making any decisions.

What If the Abortion Pill Fails?

While the abortion pill can be effective, there are instances where it may fail. If you’re concerned about the possibility of failure, here are the potential outcomes to be aware of:

  • Incomplete Abortion: In some cases, the abortion pill may result in an incomplete abortion. This can lead to prolonged bleeding, infection, or other complications, and medical attention would be needed immediately.
  • Ongoing Pregnancy: There are rare situations where the pregnancy continues despite taking the abortion pill. An ultrasound would be needed to help determine whether the pregnancy is continuing.
  • Complication Symptoms: Heavy bleeding, severe cramps, or fever could indicate complications, and medical attention would be needed.
