We See You
Whatever You’re Feeling, Start There
Maybe the timing is wrong because of work, money or a relationship that’s already shaky. Maybe you’re not sure how your family will take it. Maybe you’re numb and can’t tell what you feel yet. There isn’t a correct first reaction, and all of that makes sense.
In a city where many families go back generations, news can feel like it belongs to everyone. It doesn’t. This is yours, and you get to decide who hears about it and when. Plenty of people here have quietly faced the same question and found their way through it.
The most useful first step is usually a private conversation and a few clear facts: is the pregnancy confirmed, how far along is it, and what are your real options. A nearby center can cover all of that free, without pressure and without anyone deciding for you. You can come back as many times as you need.
Whatever you’re feeling right now, that’s okay.
We’ve got you.

The Abortion Pill: What to Know in Granite City
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.

Is a free ultrasound available near Granite City?

I took mifepristone and changed my mind. What now?
