How many weeks into pregnancy do I need to make a decision?

There are different factors to consider, including the type of abortion you want (medication or procedural), what state you live in (and if it restricts abortion after a certain number of weeks), and how far along your pregnancy is. Hey Jane treats patients up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, but there are in-person clinics where you can get abortion care beyond that point. Appointment availability can range from a few days to several weeks, so it’s important to try to have the abortion as soon as possible, if that’s what you choose.

Be careful when looking for a reliable health center. There are fake clinics called ‘crisis pregnancy centers,’ managed by anti-abortion groups. At these facilities, they may not offer you all the facts about your pregnancy options. Visit our Resources page for more.

If you might continue your pregnancy, start taking a daily prenatal vitamin.
