The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the abortion pill through 70 days (10 weeks) of pregnancy. A medical/chemical abortion procedure uses two drugs to terminate a pregnancy. The first medication ends the pregnancy by blocking the hormone progesterone. This causes the fetal heart to stop and the pregnancy to detach from the uterine lining. Up to 48 hours later, the second medication is taken, which causes strong uterine cramping to expel the embryo/fetus and pregnancy tissue.
We recommend scheduling a pregnancy screening and ultrasound appointment for your health and safety.
A pregnancy screening appointment is critical because it reduces risk to your health and equips you with information unique to you and your pregnancy so you can make a fully informed decision.
A pregnancy screening appointment includes time with our licensed medical staff, a medical-grade pregnancy test, a limited obstetrical ultrasound, and STI/STD testing. The four essential purposes for this appointment are:
To protect your emotional, psychological, and physical health, before proceeding with an abortion it is important to have all the information mentioned above.

If you are considering abortion, there are a few abortion types available, including surgical abortions and medication (or the abortion pill). The cost of an abortion and the availability of each will depend on how far along you are in your pregnancy. Our team will help you to understand the facts about your abortion options, abortion side effects, and abortion risks.
While Corbella Clinic does not perform or refer women for elective abortions, we are here to provide the judgment-free care you need so you can make the best decision possible for you. We do offer a free pre-abortion screening for women who are considering this option.
There are two types of abortion procedures: medical/chemical abortion and surgical abortion. The type of procedure women undergo depends on how far along they are in their pregnancy, health status, and ability to access emergency/follow-up care.
A surgical abortion is a medical procedure that ends your pregnancy. If a woman is more than 10 weeks into her pregnancy and is not eligible for the abortion pill, or in the event of a medication abortion failure, a surgical abortion may have to be performed.
I am incredibly grateful to Corbella Clinic for their care and support. I had a wonderful experience with them, starting with my first ultrasound to ensure everything was okay with my pregnancy. They provided me with so much helpful information and even followed up by phone every few months to check on how things were going…
I had a great experience with South Elgins Corbella Clinic during my pregnancy. The staff were very supportive and helpful with this very unexpected change in my life. I can’t thank them enough for their generosity…
Everyone is super friendly and inviting. My nurse (Julia) was amazing from the beginning. I came here when I was 10 weeks along to get my first ultrasound and she had kept in contact with me throughout my pregnancy to check in to make sure baby and I were healthy. Corbella clinic is very helpful…

These hormones directly impact the way your body functions, resulting in physical and emotional changes.

The Dos:
The Don’ts:
If you are planning to have an abortion, it is very important for your health and safety to first have a pre-abortion screening. There is never a cost to you for pre-abortion screenings with Corbella Clinic. This screening includes:
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus. Most often, it implants in the fallopian tube. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, ectopic pregnancies account for approximately 2% of all reported pregnancies. The abortion pill will not end an ectopic pregnancy.
A positive pregnancy test should never be the only factor in making an abortion decision. How do you know if you’re really pregnant? The only true confirmation of a pregnancy in with an ultrasound that is reviewed and signed by a physician. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists estimates that early pregnancy loss is common, occurring in about 10% of recognized pregnancies. Many losses occur before a woman’s pregnancy is confirmed by ultrasound. If a pregnancy is not viable, an abortion is not necessary.
We offer FDA-approved, laboratory-quality pregnancy tests. If your test is positive, you can be evaluated by a member of our medical staff to receive confirmation of pregnancy by limited obstetric ultrasound – all at no charge. The ultrasound is necessary to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy, fetal cardiac activity, and how far along you are.
If you already decided to have an abortion, we are a safe place to talk. We will show you a list of important questions to ask at the abortion clinic prior to your abortion procedure. You have a major decision, and it’s important that you receive all the education possible so that you can make a fully informed decision. We have no financial gain from your decisions, which is why all of our services are free to you. We want you to know about the possible complications and risks of abortion, including the abortion pill.
We can help you understand your choices and explain your options. We offer accurate medical information about all pregnancy options, including abortion, but we do not offer or refer for abortion services.
During your visit to Corbella Clinic, you’ll learn how far along you are through an ultrasound that would determine the type of abortion that may be performed. A trained, licensed medical professional who puts you first will explain the associated risks for the various procedures.
