Dr. Bliss offers medications for people who want to end their pregnancies under 12 weeks gestation (Medication Abortion) or who want to have the pills on hand for future use (Advanced Provision). She also offers Missed Period Pills to use to prevent a pregnancy when people are concerned they might be pregnant and either missed their period or do not want to wait.

A medical abortion is one where you take two medications, one to stop the pregnancy from progressing (mifepristone), and the other to expel the pregnancy tissue (misoprostol). The pills can be taken in the comfort and privacy of your own home at a time that is convenient for you.

Abortions with pills are extremely safe and have been used as a treatment for unwanted pregnancies around the world for decades. Outside the US, more than 80% of abortions are done with pills, and in the US it is more than 50% of the abortions and increasing). The treatment is simple and does not require ultrasounds, doctor visits, or other testing beforehand. More and more, the US medical community is realizing that people can manage their own abortions with pills with medical support and guidance where needed.

Now, with changes in regulations under the COVID-19 emergency, doctors can mail the pills to patients to help reduce the risk of unnecessary trips to clinics and pharmacies. All you have to do is register with the clinic, fill out a questionnaire and consent form. Dr. Bliss will review your information to make sure you are appropriate for the treatment and will answer any questions you may have. Once that is done, your pills will be mailed to you and should arrive in 2-5 days. You will be given detailed instructions and 24/7 support by phone and text to get you through the whole process.

The treatment costs $150 for the consultation, medications, and support. If you cannot afford this, let us know as there is a sliding scale available. Many providers and funders around the country are working to bring down the cost of medication abortions to make them more accessible to more people.
