Abortion Pill for Contraceptive Failure
Abortion Care for Patients Whose Birth Control Did Not Work
You did everything right. You were using contraception and it failed anyway. That happens more often than most people realize and it does not make your situation any less valid or your decision any less straightforward. At Serenity Choice Health we see patients regularly who are dealing with an unintended pregnancy after a contraceptive failure and we treat every one of them with the same care, the same respect, and the same complete absence of judgment. You used protection. It did not work. Now you need care and we are here to provide it.

Licensed and Regulated
Our abortion pill services are fully licensed and operate under all applicable state and federal healthcare regulations. Every appointment whether in clinic or through telehealth follows the same strict medical and safety protocols. You are receiving care from a properly regulated medical practice with licensed providers who follow current clinical guidelines at every single step.
Certified Nurse Practitioners
Our board certified nurse practitioners understand that patients coming in after a contraceptive failure are often dealing with frustration, disbelief, and a complicated mix of emotions on top of everything else. They bring patience, clinical thoroughness, and complete lack of judgment to every appointment. You will not be questioned about your contraceptive choices or made to feel responsible for a medical failure. You will be cared for properly and treated with respect.
Transparent, Upfront Pricing
You will know the full cost of your care before your appointment begins. Nothing is added afterward and nothing is left unclear before you move forward. If paying for care is a concern right now, talk to our team before you schedule. We have options and we will work through them with you.
Verified & Accredited Provider Network
Patients who prefer remote care can access the same quality of service through our telehealth program. A licensed provider handles your consultation from wherever you are comfortable, your prescription is processed properly, and your medication ships to your home in plain discreet packaging. Contraceptive failure patients receive the same thorough preparation through telehealth as they do in clinic.
What Is the Abortion Pill for Contraceptive Failure ?
The abortion pill for contraceptive failure refers to medication abortion care for patients who became pregnant despite actively using a contraceptive method. This includes patients whose condom broke or was used incorrectly, patients whose hormonal contraception failed, patients who experienced an IUD failure, patients who used emergency contraception and it did not prevent pregnancy, and patients whose any other method did not work as expected.
Contraceptive failure is a medical reality. No method of birth control is one hundred percent effective and pregnancies happen to people who were actively trying to prevent them every single day. Coming in for abortion care after a contraceptive failure is not a reflection of carelessness. It is a response to a situation you did not choose and did not cause.
The medication process is the same as for any other abortion pill appointment. Mifepristone is taken first and works by blocking the hormone the pregnancy needs to continue. Misoprostol is taken 24 to 48 hours later and causes the uterus to contract and fully empty. Both are FDA approved medications with a long and well documented safety record.
What our providers understand about contraceptive failure patients specifically is that many of them are dealing with an extra layer of frustration and sometimes disbelief on top of the situation itself. Processing a pregnancy that happened despite your efforts to prevent it is its own experience and our team approaches your care with that in mind.

HOW IT WORKS?
Safe, Simple Steps for At-Home Abortion Pill Service
Call or Book Online
Reach out by phone or through our online scheduling tool. Let our team know you are interested in the at home service. We schedule your consultation and answer any questions you have about the process before you begin.
Complete Your Medical Screening
A licensed provider conducts your full screening through a secure telehealth platform. This confirms your gestational age, checks that medication abortion is appropriate for your situation, and identifies anything that needs to be considered before your prescription is written. Thorough and complete regardless of the fact that it is happening remotely.
Take Mifepristone at Home
When your package arrives you take mifepristone first. It stops the pregnancy from progressing and most patients feel little to no physical effect after this step. You wait 24 to 48 hours before taking the second medication.
Take Misoprostol 24 to 48 Hours Later
This is when the physical process begins. Cramping and bleeding typically start within one to four hours. Your provider will have already walked you through what this involves at your specific gestational stage so you are not going into it without a clear picture of what to expect.
What Medications Are Used?
Two FDA approved medications are used in every medication abortion.
- Mifepristone is taken first. It stops the pregnancy from progressing by blocking the hormone it depends on to develop. Most patients feel little to nothing after taking it.
- Misoprostol is taken 24 to 48 hours later. It causes the uterus to contract and empty. This is when cramping and bleeding begin. Your provider explains what to expect at your specific gestational stage before you ever take this medication.
Is the Abortion Pill Safe After a Contraceptive Failure?
Yes. The abortion pill is FDA approved and safe regardless of what contraceptive method failed. The type of birth control you were using does not affect how the medications work or change the safety profile of the process. Serious complications from medication abortion occur in less than one percent of cases when care is delivered by licensed providers who complete proper screening before prescribing.
One situation worth noting is IUD failure. If you became pregnant with an IUD in place your provider needs to know this before prescribing. An IUD that is in place during a pregnancy requires specific clinical attention and your provider will address this directly during your screening.
Your Privacy Is Protected
Your consultation is protected by the same confidentiality standards as any medical appointment. What you share with your provider stays between you and your care team.
If you are coming in person your visit is handled discreetly throughout. If you are using our telehealth service your consultation runs on an encrypted HIPAA compliant platform and your medication ships in completely plain unmarked packaging with a neutral return address.
If you have specific privacy concerns bring them up when you call. We work through these situations with patients regularly and will help you figure out what makes sense for yours.
Free Abortion Care Without Medicaid
At Serenity Choice Health, we believe that financial hardship should never prevent someone from receiving safe and compassionate abortion care. If you are unable to afford abortion services, our team can help connect you with financial assistance programs and support organizations that may cover part or all of the cost of your care. We offer confidential, respectful, and judgment-free abortion services without medicaid both in-person at our Matteson, Illinois clinic and through secure telehealth consultations.

Is the at home abortion pill service as effective as going to a clinic?
Yes. The medications and the clinical process are the same. Effectiveness depends on gestational age and proper use of the medications, not on whether care is received in person or through telehealth.
How long does the process take from start to finish?
Your telehealth consultation typically takes under an hour. Medication arrives within a few days of your consultation or the next day if overnight shipping is chosen. The physical process begins 24 to 48 hours after mifepristone and the most intense part usually passes within 24 hours. Full recovery takes one to two weeks for most patients.
Do I need someone with me during recovery?
We recommend having someone you trust available or reachable during recovery, especially at later gestational stages. Your provider will talk through this with you based on where you are in your pregnancy.
What if someone else receives my package?
Because the packaging is completely unmarked, nothing about the package itself reveals its contents. If you have concerns about who might receive your mail, talk to our team. We can discuss options with you based on your specific situation.
Which states do we serve?
Illinois, Indiana and New York. We will be serving other states soon. Keep checking for updates.
