Helpful tips
Preparing to take the abortion pills at home
Taking the abortion pills at home is safe, private, and effective — and being prepared can help make the experience smoother. We recommend setting aside a comfortable, quiet space where you can rest for a few hours. Have a heating pad, snacks, water, and any comfort items nearby. It’s also a good idea to have pain medication like ibuprofen on hand, as cramping is a normal part of the process.
Most people choose to have a support person nearby, but you can absolutely do this on your own if you prefer. However you choose to take the pills, carafem is here for you every step of the way.
Frequently asked questions
Abortion pills for future use cost between $299-399, depending on eligibility for financial assistance.
No, you don't need to be pregnant to buy abortion pills for future use.
Everyone deserves the freedom to decide if, when, and how many children they want to have. But we know that access to abortion care in the U.S. is becoming harder every day. That’s why having abortion pills available just in case can be such an empowering option. If you ever find yourself facing an unintended pregnancy and have missed the short window for emergency contraception (like Plan B), having abortion pills on hand means you can take action when you’re ready, in the privacy and comfort of your own space. No waiting for approvals, no worrying about shipping delays—just peace of mind knowing you’re prepared.
Abortion pills for future use are simply that, abortion pills you have on hand in the event you have an unplanned pregnancy at a later time.
The abortion pill is actually a combination of two medications — mifepristone and misoprostol — taken in sequence. In the U.S., this method is most commonly used during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
The first pill, mifepristone, blocks the hormone needed for a pregnancy to continue. Most people take this pill in our health center, though it can sometimes be taken at home. Some people may notice light bleeding afterward, but that’s not very common.
The second pill, misoprostol, is taken at home within 72 hours of the first. It causes cramping and bleeding as your body passes the pregnancy — similar to a miscarriage. Most people start to feel cramping and see bleeding within an hour of taking it, though it can sometimes take longer.
You may also experience nausea, chills, diarrhea, or flu-like symptoms — that’s all normal. It’s a lot like a very heavy, crampy period. We recommend having thick maxi pads, a heating pad, and some quiet time set aside. We also provide anti-nausea and pain medications to help you stay as comfortable as possible.
For most, the heaviest cramping and bleeding lasts 3–4 hours, with lighter bleeding that may continue until your next period, usually 4–6 weeks later.
The abortion pill is a safe and highly effective option for ending an early pregnancy. Research shows that when used correctly, medication abortion works about 98% of the time for pregnancies up to 10–12 weeks.
Most people pass the pregnancy within a few hours after taking the second medication (misoprostol), and symptoms like cramping and bleeding are usually strongest during this time. A small number of people (around 2–5%) may need a follow-up dose of medication or a simple in-office procedure to complete the abortion — and that’s normal and ok.
The abortion pill is very safe and has been used by millions of people worldwide for over 20 years. In the United States alone, it's been safely used by hundreds of thousands of people since it was approved by the FDA in 2000.
There’s no evidence that using the abortion pill affects your ability to get pregnant or carry a pregnancy in the future. When you're ready to have a baby, your fertility returns quickly — often within a few weeks.
