Medication Abortion

Our university firmly supports the ability of individuals to access necessary health care services and make decisions about their own care in consultation with their medical teams.

At The Arthur Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center, we provide students with comprehensive access to reproductive health services. We are committed to continuing to do so, and have resources available to meet the demand of our community.

Students seeking reproductive services, including pregnancy testing, birth control, emergency contraception and consultation on the option of abortion, are encouraged to visit The Ashe Center Patient Portal to schedule or call (310) 825-4073 for a consultation with a medical provider.

In partnership with UCLA Health, medication abortion services are now available at The Ashe Center for pregnancies up to 70 days (10 weeks).

Medication Abortion Steps

• Log into The Ashe Center Patient Portal and choose the Appointment option called “Abortion Care” under Online Services.
• An Ashe Center Nurse will contact you to review your questionnaire and discuss options.
• If you are eligible for a no test telehealth medication abortion, you will have a telehealth appointment through The Ashe Center.
• During your telehealth appointment, the provider will coordinate a time for you to come in person to the Ashe Center to pick up your first medication (Mifepristone).
• If you are seen in person, the first medication (Mifepristone) will be given to you at the time of your visit.
• The second medication, called misoprostol, will be sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
• Two follow-up appointments will be required:
  • The first follow-up will be 1-2 weeks after the mifepristone (in person or telehealth).
  • The second follow-up will be a phone call 4 weeks after the mifepristone.

You will be guided through this process by our staff and clinicians with detailed instructions.

Medication Abortion Resources & Support

For some people, it can be difficult to choose whether to have an abortion or to consider their options upon becoming pregnant. Additionally, for people who have made the decision to end a pregnancy, there may be a wide range of emotional reactions that arise at different points during or after their medical care.

UCLA Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) is available to support students’ emotional and mental health and can assist you if you would like to speak to a professional clinician about your experiences. CAPS is available by phone 24 hours per day at 310-825-0768.
