What is an abortion or “termination of pregnancy”?

An abortion is the deliberate medical process of ending a pregnancy. An abortion is also known as a ‘termination’ or ‘termination of pregnancy‘. At MSI Reproductive Choices UK we offer two types of abortion care: medical abortion (abortion pills) and surgical abortion.

What is a medical abortion (also known as ‘abortion with pills’? 

A medical abortion uses medication to end a pregnancy. The treatment involves taking two types of medicine – mifepristone and misoprostol – at two different times. It is the safest treatment option up to 9 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy for most people. You can complete medical abortion treatment with MSI UK within 5 days.

Which abortion is right for me?

There are two types of abortion: medical (or abortion with pills) and surgical. Most people having an abortion can choose how it will be carried out.  

The type of procedure you can be offered will depend on a few personal factors. Things like your gestation (how many weeks pregnant you are), past medical history and gynaecological history will all help determine which method is best for you.
