A medical abortion, also known as the abortion pill, is suitable for women up to about 70 days from their last missed period. As the time since conception increases, the effectiveness of the abortion pill decreases significantly. By ten weeks, its effectiveness diminishes considerably. To determine how far along you are in fetal development, it’s best to get an [ultrasound](https://brevardepc.com/free-ultrasounds-butler-county-ks). This is a more precise way to determine your date of conception.   > Have abortion questions but prefer to talk to someone?

Most medications fall into two broad categories: those sanctioned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and those that aren’t. When browsing online, you might notice this distinction. Generally, FDA-approved abortion pills tend to be notably pricier than their non-approved counterparts. Moreover, abortion pills lacking FDA approval often entail longer shipping durations because they are dispatched from countries such as India, where medication regulations are less stringent compared to the United States.   ## Can I Use the Abortion Pill in Florida? Since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, the legality of abortion has become a state issue instead of a federal one. In Florida, the law limits most abortions — including medical abortions like the abortion pill — to pregnancies at or before about six weeks’ gestation. However, care for **miscarriage** or **ectopic pregnancy** is *not* considered an abortion. These are separate medical conditions that require appropriate treatment to protect a woman’s health and are legal to treat in Florida. Despite this legal restriction, online retailers may still attempt to sell these pills to you. However, they cannot legally provide FDA-approved medication beyond what state law allows.   ### At-Home Abortions & The Abortion Pill If you manage to obtain an abortion pill, self-administering the medication can be challenging without professional guidance, posing risks of incorrect usage and potential harm. Moreover, the second pill in the abortion regimen causes the expulsion of the pregnancy from your body, which can occur at any stage of development. Mentally preparing for this process is crucial, as it may involve the emotional experience of witnessing a partially-formed pregnancy being expelled, which can be traumatic for many individuals.   ### Get Your Abortion Pill Questions Answered If you have questions about the legality of the abortion pill where you live, want to discuss your options, or even get a free ultrasound, **Essential Pregnancy Center** is here to help.
