Ultrasound
Why do I need an ultrasound?
Ultrasounds provide critical information about your pregnancy. They identify details you will need to inform you of your options.
How Does an Ultrasound Work?
During an ultrasound, the sonographer applies gel to your abdomen. They then use a small wand called a transducer, which emits high-frequency sound waves. These sound waves create an image that is displayed on a screen. This is called an abdominal ultrasound, but you may receive another form of ultrasound called a transvaginal ultrasound.
What Do Ultrasounds Reveal?
Ultrasounds examine vital details about your pregnancy, including:
LOCATION –
If your pregnancy cannot be detected in the uterus you could have an ectopic pregnancy. In this instance, you would be advised to seek immediate medical attention. The FDA specifically says the abortion pill “will not be effective to terminate an ectopic pregnancy.”
GESTATIONAL AGE –
This is determined by measuring the dimensions of the pregnancy. This information is important no matter what you are considering. For example, the abortion pill can be dangerous to you if your pregnancy is farther along than you may think. The FDA approves the abortion pill up to 70 days (10 weeks). Abortion pill risks such as uterine rupture increase the farther along you are in your pregnancy. The ultrasound provides you with an accurate gestational age so you can make the best decision for you.
VIABILITY
Up to 30% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. In this case, you would be advised to follow up with your physician, and you would avoid an unnecessary abortion procedure.
