You’re Allowed to Take This One Step at a Time
A positive test can make the future feel like it arrived all at once: money, school, work, family, a partner who may or may not stay. Trying to solve all of it tonight usually makes it feel bigger. You don’t have to. Pick one question to answer first and let the others wait.
In a small town, it’s easy to believe you’re the only one who has ever been here. You aren’t. Women across Montgomery County have faced this same surprise, taken a breath, and found their footing one decision at a time. None of them had it figured out on day one.
The first decision is a small one: find out exactly where things stand. A nearby center can confirm the pregnancy, explain each option without bias, and answer the questions you’d rather not ask anyone you know. It’s free, it’s private, and you stay in charge of every step after that.
Whatever you’re feeling right now, that’s okay.
We’ve got you.
Caught off guard like the ground shifted a little.

The Abortion Pill: What to Know in Hillsboro
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.

Can I get an ultrasound without insurance near Hillsboro?
