The cost really depends on how far you are into your pregnancy, your weight and if you have had a pregnancy before that required a c-section.
Please e-mail or call for our fees.

Absolutely!
Is a urine test always reliable?
Not always. It depends on the stage of pregnancy and urine sample. However, an ultrasound test is always precise (as early as 2 weeks pregnant).
How long does the actual procedure take?
The actual procedure takes anywhere from 3-5 minutes for a 1st trimester abortion. A 2nd trimester abortion takes a few minutes longer.
However – like in all surgeries, you’ll have to be in the office 2-3 hours prior to surgery for tests and pre-medications and 1-3 hours after surgery for recovery and medications.

Pregnancies can be effectively terminated between 4 to 24 weeks after your last menstrual period, however, terminating the pregnancy can be accomplished sooner if need be.
Do we offer the Morning After Pill?
Yes.
How soon After the procedure can I resume sexual activity?
You should not resume sexual activity until you have gone for your follow-up exam or after you have had your first menstrual period.
