About Our Services

Telehealth Abortion Care

Our telehealth abortion services offer in Illinoisresidents a convenient, private way to access reproductive healthcare without leaving home. Here's how it works: During your telehealth appointment, you'll connect with a licensed medical provider through a secure video or phone consultation. The provider will review your medical history, confirm your pregnancy dating, and determine if you're eligible for medication abortion. This comprehensive consultation typically takes 20-30 minutes and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions about the abortion pill process, side effects, and what to expect.

Abortion Pills

Medication abortion, also known as the abortion pill, is a safe and effective method of ending an early pregnancy using two medications: mifepristone and misoprostol. This non-surgical option is available to, Illinois residents up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.The process begins with taking mifepristone, which blocks the hormone progesterone needed for pregnancy to continue. Then, 24-48 hours later, you take misoprostol, which causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. Most people complete the abortion process within 4-6 hours after taking misoprostol, though it can take longer.

At Serenity Choice Health, we provide comprehensive follow-up support to ensure your physical and emotional well-being throughout your recovery. After your medication abortion, you'll have access to our medical team for questions, concerns, or complications. We monitor your progress and are available to provide guidance on managing symptoms, recognizing warning signs, and ensuring the abortion is complete. Most patients have a follow-up consultation 1-2 weeks after taking the medications to confirm the pregnancy has ended successfully.

Physical Recovery Timeline

Understanding what’s normal during recovery helps you feel confident and prepared. Here’s what most Illinois patients experience after medication abortion:

First 24-48 Hours (After Taking Misoprostol):

Heavy cramping (similar to strong menstrual cramps)
Heavy bleeding with blood clots (larger than normal period clots)
Passing of pregnancy tissue
Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Chills and low-grade fever (under 100.4°F)
Fatigue and weakness

Days 3-7:

Cramping decreases significantly
Bleeding reduces to moderate flow (like a normal period)
Energy levels begin returning
Nausea and digestive symptoms resolve
Breast tenderness may begin as hormones adjust

Weeks 2-4:

Light bleeding or spotting continues
Occasional mild cramping
Hormones returning to pre-pregnancy levels
Energy fully restored
Next menstrual period typically returns within 4-6 weeks

Normal Side Effects After Abortion:

✓ Bleeding for up to 2 weeks (sometimes spotting until next period)
✓ Passing blood clots up to lemon-size
✓ Cramping that feels like strong period cramps
✓ Breast tenderness as milk production stops
✓ Mood changes as hormones adjust
✓ Fatigue for the first few days
