Is it safe to use abortion pills while alone?

Why shouldn't you be alone when you do a medical abortion?

You are strongly advised to use the medicines in the presence of someone you trust.  If you experience abnormally severe side effects (prolonged or extreme pain, bleeding, cramping, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), it is good to be with someone who can go get medical help.

What if you do it alone anyway?

If you choose to do the medical abortion alone, it is not necessarily hazardous. Make sure you are near a phone or some way of contacting medical professionals.

You should consider telling someone (a neighbor, a family member, or someone who is nearby) that you are not feeling well and you are going to rest. You can ask them to check on you later in the day after you use the Misoprostol. This way someone will know if you are experiencing complications and can help you, but they do not have to know that you have done a medical abortion. You can say that you think you have had a miscarriage.
