This is important because it confirms how many weeks along you are in your pregnancy, which plays a major role in determining the cost and safety of the procedure. [Click on this link to schedule your free ultrasound](https://whatchoices.com/free-ultrasound) to ensure you have all the necessary information.   ### Types of Abortion There are two primary types of abortion: chemical and surgical. The option you choose will depend on how far along you are in your pregnancy and the laws in your state. - A chemical abortion (abortion pill) involves taking medication to end the pregnancy.1 It’s only approved as an option by the FDA within the first 70 days of conception. - A surgical abortion is a procedure performed by a doctor to remove the fetus.2 It's typically done in a clinic and can be more expensive.   ## Cost of an Abortion - Chemical Abortion: The cost of the abortion pill can vary significantly, ranging from free to $800. Additional costs may include expedited shipping, particularly if the pill is ordered online from international sources. The legality of the pill in your area can also create complications and add risks to the process. - Surgical Abortion: The cost of a surgical abortion typically ranges from $800 to $2,000, though it can be higher depending on factors like travel expenses, medication costs, and differences in insurance coverage, as reported by abortion providers in 2024.3   ### Risks of Ordering the Abortion Pill Online Regardless of whether the abortion pill is legal in your state, ordering it online can pose both legal and medical risks. Unregulated pills from international sellers, especially those not approved by the FDA, can be dangerous.4 Taking the abortion pill without first confirming your pregnancy with a medical-grade test can be harmful to your health, especially if you are not actually pregnant. False positives on at-home pregnancy tests are possible, so it's important to confirm your pregnancy. [Schedule your free pregnancy test here](https://whatchoices.com/free-pregnancy-tests). Self-administration of the abortion pill without medical supervision can lead to misuse and severe health complications.5 It's vital to seek professional guidance.
