We See You
You Don’t Have to Have It Figured Out
Maybe you took the test after class at College of DuPage. Maybe you took it at home and then walked around Lake Ellyn just to think. However you found out, the first hours tend to be a blur of questions with no clear order. Some women feel relief, some feel dread, and many feel both within the same hour.
That’s normal. You don’t need a plan yet, and you don’t need to tell anyone before you’re ready. What you need first is accurate information: whether the pregnancy is confirmed, how far along it is, and what options are realistically open to you right now. Getting those three things straight usually takes the edge off the panic, even if the bigger decisions stay open for a while.
A center nearby can provide those answers privately and without charge. The people there will listen, explain things in plain language and respect whatever you decide, including deciding to wait a while.
Whatever you’re feeling right now, that’s okay.
We’ve got you.
Caught off guard like the ground shifted a little.
Under pressure from people around you to land on an answer fast.
Doing the math on work, money, school, or a relationship that already feels complicated.
Not sure what information you can trust or who can relate and support your experience.
Wishing you had more time to think before deciding how to handle this.
Feeling alone even in a city of millions.
Concerned that you will make the wrong decision and that no one will understand you.
NO COST. EVER.

The Abortion Pill: What to Know in Glen Ellyn
If you’re weighing this option, understanding how it actually works — and what it requires of your body — matters more than any headline.
It’s two drugs, not one pill
What people call “the abortion pill” is a two-step process. The first drug, mifepristone (brand name Mifeprex), is FDA-approved only up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. It works by cutting off the blood and nutrients the pregnancy needs.
Why an ultrasound comes first
Mifepristone doesn’t work on an ectopic pregnancy, and the pain it can cause is easy to confuse with the pain of one. An ultrasound before you take anything confirms where the pregnancy is and whether it’s viable — a safety step, not a formality.
TIME-SENSITIVE INFORMATION
Already Took the First Pill and Changed Your Mind?
If mifepristone was the only pill you’ve taken so far, reversal with natural progesterone may still be an option. It isn’t guaranteed, and it isn’t available forever — the sooner you call, the better your odds.
Hour Window
After taking the first pill, you may have up to 72 hours to begin the reversal process.
