Get your period. Move on. The **“missed period pill” is another term used for the abortion pill.** It doesn’t simply restart a late period; it ends an existing pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant, getting a few personalized answers first can help you understand:   - **How far along you are** - **Where the pregnancy is located** - **What may apply to your unique situation** > Every pregnancy is different. Taking a little time to understand yours can help you move forward with more information and preparation. Ember Rising provides a free [Pre-Abortion Assessment](https://www.ember-rising.com/abortion-wichita)to help uncover your unique answers to these kinds of questions.   ## What Is the *Missed Period Pill*? “Missed period pill” is not the standard medical name for one specific medication. The term may be used to describe medications taken after a missed period, including medications used for abortion. Medication abortion commonly involves **mifepristone and misoprostol**. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, a hormone needed for a pregnancy to continue, and misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and empty.   ## What Should I Know About My Pregnancy First? A missed period can be a sign of pregnancy, but pregnancy isn't the only reason a period can be late. Stress, illness, hormonal changes, changes in exercise or weight, and other factors can affect your menstrual cycle.   ### A Positive Pregnancy Test Doesn't Tell You Everything [An ultrasound](https://www.ember-rising.com/free-pregnancy-testing-ultrasounds-wichita) can provide additional information specific to your pregnancy that a home test or period-tracking app cannot. For example: > An ectopic pregnancy develops outside the uterus and requires medical care. Abortion medication does not treat an ectopic pregnancy. **Every pregnancy is different. Your answers should be personal, too.**   ## Is the Missed Period Pill the Same as the Abortion Pill? It can be. If “missed period pill” is being used to describe **mifepristone and misoprostol** for an existing pregnancy, those are medications used for medication abortion. Knowing exactly what medication you're considering and understanding your pregnancy beforehand can help you have a more informed conversation with your healthcare provider.   ### Before the Abortion Pill, Get Answers Specific to You Your pregnancy has its own timeline and medical details. Ember Rising's free [**pre-abortion assessment**](https://www.ember-rising.com/abortion) gives you an opportunity to understand them and ask your questions with licensed medical professionals. During your appointment, you can: - **Confirm your pregnancy** with free testing - **Learn how far along you are** with an ultrasound when medically appropriate - **Better understand your health** and what's happening in your body - **Ask your questions** in a private, unhurried setting The more you know about your pregnancy, the more prepared you can be for what comes next.   ## Prepare for the Experience at Home Knowing more about your pregnancy is one part of preparing. **Having practical tools for the abortion pill process is another.** Ember Rising's free [**Abortion Pill C.A.R.E. Kit**](https://www.ember-rising.com/at-home-abortion-kit-wichita) includes practical supplies and easy-to-understand information for the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the experience at home. **Your C.A.R.E. Kit includes:** - Supplies to help monitor bleeding - Tools to identify passed tissue, if needed - Helpful recovery items for comfort & hygiene - Pads and protective underwear - Clear information about what to expect and when to seek medical care > Medical instructions explain the process. Your C.A.R.E. Kit helps you prepare for the experience.   ## Take a Little Time to Know More If you're considering a missed period pill or abortion pill, a little preparation can give you something an online search can't: ***answers specific to your pregnancy.*** Ember Rising's free pre-abortion assessment combines pregnancy testing, an ultrasound, time with licensed medical professionals, and practical resources for what comes next.
