When facing an unexpected pregnancy, it may seem easier or more private to order the abortion pill online. But before you make any decisions, it’s essential to understand what’s involved and how this choice may affect your health.
There’s more to this process than simply taking a pill. Your safety matters, and knowing where you stand medically can make all the difference.

What You Should Know About Ordering Online
While abortion pills are available online, buying them without medical oversight comes with serious risks. The abortion pill is only FDA-approved through 10 weeks of pregnancy, and taking it too late or without proper screening can lead to a greater risk of complications.
The FDA does not oversee or regulate any drugs outside of the U.S. supply chain. This means you won’t know if the pills you order online are safe, have the right ingredients, or are properly dosed. You also don’t know if they were made in sanitary conditions.
Additionally, moving forward without an ultrasound misses signs of a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy—both of which require different care.
Why Medical Screening Matters
An ultrasound can confirm how far along you are, whether the pregnancy is viable, and where it’s located. This information is essential for protecting your health.
Even though ordering pills online might feel easier, having access to a trusted medical team gives you the confidence to move forward with care and clarity.
