- FDA approved medication.

- Complete medical instructions.
- Access to your doctor 24 hours a day.

This is more than a shipment – this is coordinated medical care from licensed professionals.
What’s Included in Serenity Choice Health Abortion Care?
1. FDA-Approved Abortion Pills
Two drugs, commonly referred to as the abortion pill combination, will form the basis of your care:
- Mifepristone – First medication taken to stop the growth of your pregnancy.
- Misoprostol – Second medication taken 6 to 48 hours after mifepristone to cause the safe and effective evacuation of your uterus.
The combination of these medications is supported by decades of research showing that when taken as prescribed, they are over 99% effective at ending an early pregnancy. You can review our abortion pill effectiveness chart for a complete breakdown by gestational age.
You will receive:
- Properly labeled medications
- Individualized instructions on how and when to take the medications
- Individualized instructions on how to time taking each medication according to how far along you are in your pregnancy
- 24/7 instructions regarding ‘normal’ during the process and when to call for help
We won’t leave you guessing; every step of your care is medically coordinated.
2. Pain Relief Medication
Cramping is a normal and anticipated outcome of the entire process. To support your comfort, Serenity Choice Health includes:
- Prescription-strong pain medication, or over-the-counter medications (such as ibuprofen) appropriate for each individual
- Written instructions related to timing each medication
- Comfort measures other than medications
In addition, we provide education on:
- Using heating pads
- Resting positions
- How to stay hydrated
- What to expect regarding the cramping
Unlike many clinics that provide you with minimal instructions on how to prepare, you will be given complete instructions to help you feel prepared for this process rather than surprised. You can also read our full guide on abortion pain management to understand exactly what to expect and how to manage discomfort effectively.
3. Anti-Nausea Support
Some women may experience nausea when taking misoprostol, which is why anti-nausea medication may be included if necessary.
You will also receive:
- Instructions on when to take the medication (either before or after the onset of symptoms)
- Recommendations on what to eat and drink
- Advice regarding hydration
- Common versus uncommon symptoms
Reducing your anxiety is our primary focus.
4. Step-By-Step Medical Instructions
Clear and easy-to-follow instructions for safe abortion care are critical. Your instruction sheet includes:
- When to administer each dose
- How to properly administer misoprostol (either buccally or vaginally as prescribed)
- Expected patterns of bleeding
- General timeframe for passing pregnancy tissue
- Common warning signs that may indicate a problem would require medical attention
- Information on going to the emergency room (this is rare but good to know)
All the instructions have been written in language that you can easily understand, without the use of any medical terminology. For additional guidance, our complete breakdown of how the abortion pill works and how to take mifepristone and misoprostol together are available to read before you begin.
5. Direct Access to Licensed Providers
Serenity Choice Health is unique in that if you decide to have a telehealth abortion, you will not be alone after receiving your medication. You will have:
- Secure messaging with your healthcare provider
- Try messaging with your medical provider for answers to your medical questions in real time
- Follow-up checks with your healthcare provider
- Access to support in case you feel symptoms are severe or atypical
Many people ask, “What happens if something doesn’t feel right?” You will not need to search the internetwe will be here for you. You can also review our guide on warning signs after an abortion when to call your doctor and signs to go to the emergency room after taking the abortion pill so you always know exactly when to reach out.
What add-on items can I purchase?
All medically necessary components of your abortion pill treatment will already be included in your treatment plan. However, if you decide to have a telehealth abortion, you can opt to add on some comfort-enhancing products to your package for added convenience and comfort.
Some examples of extra products available through a telehealth abortion service are:
- Pregnancy Tests (with directions regarding when to take) – to take about four weeks after your procedure, your medical provider will let you know when to take this test to check whether or not you are still pregnant.
- Heating Pads – to provide comfort for cramping during your abortion process. If you already have one at home, used it instead of ordering from us.
- Contraception (if you wish) – allows you to begin using birth control immediately after your abortion.
None of these items are mandatory purchases. When having a telehealth abortion, as well as when having an in-office abortion through our facility, we strive to provide you with an effortless, discreet, and completely supported experience while trying not to create additional trips to the pharmacy, if that is your preference.
Who Is Eligible for Serenity Choice Health?
Eligibility depends on:
- How far along is your pregnancy?
- What’s your medical history?
- What medications are you taking?
- Where do you live?
Most of the time patients with a pregnancy of up to 10–11 weeks qualify for the abortion pill through telehealth abortion care. The process is simple:
- Complete an encrypted, secure online health screening questionnaire.
- A licensed provider will review your medical history and determine if you are eligible for an abortion.
- We will perform an ultrasound to confirm the length of your pregnancy and whether you are eligible to use the abortion pill.
- If you qualify and the abortion pill is an acceptable option, a prescription will be written and sent to you immediately.
If you do not qualify or the abortion pill is not the best method of abortion for you, we will refer you to our clinic for an in-person abortion and evaluation.
The top priority of our clinic is patient safety.
How Long Does It Take to Get Abortion Pills?
We know time is important to you. Once you finish an intake form and the form has been submitted.
- A provider will let you know within 1 business day about your eligibility.
- After being approved by a provider, your abortion medication will be shipped to you as quickly as possible.
Shipping companies we may use include:
- Standard delivery (2–3 business days average)
- Overnight shipping (typically, 1–2 business days depending on provider availability and where the patient lives.)
Most telehealth patients receive their prescription within a couple of days of the completion of their telehealth appointment. Learn more about how long the abortion pill takes from consultation to completion in our dedicated guide.
If you need your medication sooner and/or would like medication the same day as your appointment, we encourage you to see us at our clinic for in-person care.
What Does the Packaging Look Like?
The secrecy of your health care is needed.
When you are receiving a telehealth abortion:
- The abortion tablets come in a plain, unmarked package.
- No one will know you are receiving abortion care by looking at the out-facing side of the box.
- Each time you receive your prescription, the label will follow the normal rules of pharmacy.
All of the same rules apply to the delivery of your abortion medication from your pharmacy as to the delivery of your medical supplies. Your medical care will be kept completely private by the telehealth abortion process. For more on your privacy rights, read our guide on does abortion show up on medical records.
Do I Need Anything Else for an At-Home Abortion?
For the sake of your comfort, you should have several comfort items when you receive your telehealth abortion medicine. Examples of comfort items are:
- Heavy flow menstrual pads (please do not use tampons while having your abortion)
- A heating pad
- Loose fitting, comfortable clothing
- Food you can digest easily (toast, crackers, soup)
- Plenty of fluids (water, electrolyte beverages)
- A quiet, comfortable location for resting
- A trusted friend for support (optional)
You will receive a checklist to assist you in preparing before you start your abortion. You can also read our full guide on what not to do after abortion pills to make sure your recovery goes as smoothly as possible.
