You’re Not as Far From Help as It Feels
What You’re Probably Feeling Right Now
When your options seem like they’re all somewhere else, it’s easy to assume you’re stuck waiting or driving hours for a real answer. You’re not. Whatever you’re feeling about all of this right now is a completely fair way to feel.

None of that means you’re behind or handling this wrong. It means you’re facing something real without a map for it yet. A straight conversation with someone who isn’t pushing an outcome — just handing you facts — tends to make the next step clearer, whatever you end up choosing.

Whatever you’re feeling right now, that’s okay.
We’ve got you.
Caught off guard like the ground shifted a little.
Unsure where to even start when the closest options feel scattered or far.
Running the math on money, work, school, or a relationship already under strain.
Skeptical of what you’ve read online because half of it contradicts the other half.
Wishing someone would just tell you what’s actually true without an agenda attached.
NO COST. EVER.

The Abortion Pill: What to Know in Carbondale

If this is what you’re weighing, here’s the part that matters most before anything else.

Two medications, one after the other

Mifepristone comes first, misoprostol follows a day or two later. Only approved up through 10 weeks of pregnancy.

The ultrasound comes before anything else

Mifepristone can’t end an ectopic pregnancy, and its side effects can mimic ectopic symptoms. An ultrasound first tells you exactly where things stand and whether the pregnancy is viable.

TIME-SENSITIVE INFORMATION

Had Second Thoughts After the First Pill?

If mifepristone is the only medication you’ve taken, reversal with natural progesterone might still be possible. Nothing is guaranteed, and the window is short — call as soon as you can.

Hour Window
After taking the first pill, you may have up to 72 hours to begin the reversal process.

I'm considering the abortion pill. What should I know before deciding?

Before anything else, an ultrasound confirms your pregnancy is viable and located correctly, which matters for your safety. Find a clinic near you to talk it through, or see our full abortion pill information page.

I took the first abortion pill and I've changed my mind. Is there still time?

There may be. Reversal is sometimes possible within about 24 to 72 hours of taking mifepristone, though it can’t be promised. Call the 24/7 Abortion Pill Reversal hotline right now at 1-877-558-0333.

How does adoption actually work these days?

Very differently than it used to. You select the adoptive family and set the terms for how much contact, if any, continues afterward. Find a clinic near you or see our adoption information page to learn more.

I'm worried I can't afford a baby. What help is actually out there?

Money fear is the number one thing that makes women feel cornered, but there’s real help available — free pregnancy care, baby supplies, housing referrals, Medicaid, SNAP, and WIC. The national 800-311-BABY (800-311-2229) line will connect you to your local health department too. Find a clinic near you and we’ll go through your options together, at no cost.

What if he wants nothing to do with this?

This decision is yours alone to make. Find a clinic near you to talk through your rights and what support is available whether or not he’s part of the picture.

Will this affect my ability to stay in school?

No — Title IX protects pregnant and parenting students, and plenty of women complete their education while navigating an unexpected pregnancy. Find a clinic near you to talk through your rights and the support available to student parents.
