We See You
Breathe. You Don’t Need Every Answer Yet
Maybe you’re a Bradley student counting weeks until finals. Maybe you work long shifts and can’t imagine adding one more thing. Maybe you have kids at home already and the news landed somewhere between panic and tenderness. Every one of those reactions is real, and none of them means you’re handling this badly.
A drive along Grandview Drive or a quiet hour by the river won’t make the decision for you, but it can give you enough room to think. You don’t owe anyone an answer this week, and you don’t have to go through the next steps by yourself. Support is available the moment you want it.
Begin with the basics. Someone at a nearby pregnancy center can verify that you’re pregnant, tell you how far along you are and explain each option in plain words, at no cost and in confidence. After that, you set the pace, and nobody else does.
Nobody’s clock but yours is running here. The support will be waiting when you’re ready.
Thrown off track this wasn’t part of any plan you’d made.
Aware of expectations that suddenly don’t line up with your reality.
Doing the math on work, money, school, or a relationship that already feels complicated.
Unsure who to trust after an hour of conflicting information online.
Wishing you had more time before anyone expects an answer from you.
NO COST. EVER.

The Abortion Pill: What to Know in Peoria
If this is what you’re weighing, here’s what actually matters before your next move.
Two pills, a day or two apart
Mifepristone first, then misoprostol — approved only through the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Don’t skip the ultrasound
Mifepristone can’t end an ectopic pregnancy, and its side effects can mimic ectopic symptoms. An ultrasound first shows exactly where things stand and whether the pregnancy is viable.
TIME-SENSITIVE INFORMATION
Rethinking It After the First Pill?
If mifepristone is the only medication you’ve taken, reversal with natural progesterone may still be an option. Nothing is guaranteed, and the window doesn’t stay open long — 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.
