Summit Medical Centers offers the 1st trimester abortion before 12 weeks of pregnancy. Due to GA law 1st trimester abortion is available if no fetal cardiac activity is present during the ultrasound.

Some clinics may offer Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA), but most use aspiration with suction to complete the abortion procedure.

Your 1st trimester abortion appointment includes:

  • filing out paperwork
  • basic lab work
  • ultrasound
  • health education session

Summit Medical Center offers all patients medications to help with pain, antibiotics to prevent infection, and birth control. Birth control options include same-day IUD and implant insertions in GA.  Moreover, we are happy to provide resources about non-hormonal methods.

Some patients choose to have STD testing at this time. (We provide counseling and treatment, too.)

During the first trimester, some people choose the medication abortion by pill. Review the 1st trimester abortion comparison chart PDF.
