Abortion Care at CARE Clinic Colorado: Compassionate, Professional, and Accessible

If you’re considering an abortion and are seeking a safe, welcoming space, CARE Clinic in Pueblo, Colorado, is here to provide you with compassionate, professional care. Our clinic is designed for patients traveling from states with restricted abortion access to receive the reproductive healthcare they deserve. Whether you’re looking for the abortion pill or need a surgical procedure, we offer a range of services to ensure you have the support and options you need.

What We Offer: Comprehensive Abortion Services

At CARE Clinic Colorado, we specialize in various abortion services to fit your personal healthcare needs and stage of pregnancy. Here’s a breakdown of the services we provide:

  • Abortion Pill: Up to 11.6 weeks of pregnancy. If you’re early in your pregnancy, the abortion pill (also known as medical abortion) may be a safe and effective option for you. The pill is an accessible and private option for terminating a pregnancy within the first few weeks.
  • Vacuum Aspiration: Up to 18.6 weeks of pregnancy. For pregnancies in the later first trimester and early second trimester, vacuum aspiration is a gentle procedure that removes the pregnancy from the uterus with a suction device.
  • Surgical Abortion (D&E): After 18.6 weeks of pregnancy. Our clinic offers surgical abortion (dilation and evacuation) for pregnancies beyond the typical cutoff for other methods. This is a well-established procedure performed by experienced medical professionals.

Abortion Pill FAQ

Offered up to 11 weeks

When taken in the first trimester, the abortion pill is 94-98% effective.

If you are taking the abortion pill, some minor side effects may set in after taking the second pill. These side effects may include bleeding, cramping, and nausea.

The cramping happens because the second pill causes your uterus to contract, which is the source of these cramping pains. You can treat these cramping pains in the same way you would with your usual menstrual cramps. For bleeding, it can vary from patient to patient. You may also pass clots with the bleeding. This bleeding is normal as long as you don’t use more than two menstrual pads.

Your symptoms should start to subside 24 hours after taking the second pill.

The abortion pill is very safe, with less than 1% of patients having serious complications.

One reason that patients choose the abortion pill is because it is not invasive. In 98% of patients, there is no surgical procedures necessary. We look to avoid surgical procedures by using the abortion pill, as less surgery means less risk.

The abortion pill does come with cramping and bleeding. The bleeding is usually heavier than a regular period, and the cramping can be moderate to heavy. Most patients find this to be tolerable, but if you do not we will be here to help.

Like any medical procedure, there are some risks. However, complications are very rare. These risks include infection, blood loss, and incomplete pregnancy termination. We will monitor you to ensure that you are safe, and in our follow up appointment we’ll check again.

There is no scientific evidence that the abortion pill can be reversed, so you should be 100% sure you want to go through with it before you take the first pill. We will never pressure you into a choice you don’t want to make, we are here to support you and make sure you have all the information you need for an informed choice. 

There is a very low chance of this happening, but if it does, we’ll follow up with a surgical abortion to complete the termination of the pregnancy.

Surgical Abortions Information

Offered after 18.6 weeks

Surgical abortions have a very low rate of complications. However, they are a surgery and use anesthesia. As with any surgery or procedure that uses anesthesia, there is always a risk of complications like bleeding or infection. These risks are why we perform blood work and have you visit beforehand so that we catch anything that might increase the chance of complications.

This depends on your individual health. For some higher risk patients, you will receive IV sedation (Twilight Sedation). For lower risk patients, you will receive local anesthesia, sometimes combined with a mild sedative.

There is no scientific evidence that states having a surgical abortion will affect your ability to get pregnant in the future.

We highly recommend having a follow up appointment a few weeks later, which your doctor will schedule with you. This appointment serves as a check-in. We will make sure that you are healthy and without complications, as well as ensure that the pregnancy has been terminated.

Vacuum Aspiration Information

Offered up to 18.6 weeks

Vacuum aspiration has a success rate of 99-100%

Vacuum aspiration is very safe, with a complication rate of less than 1%.

Vacuum aspirations are performed up to 18.6 weeks after your last regular period in CO. This is when they are safest and most effective.

You will likely experience cramping during the procedure, which is a short procedure. Once it’s over, your cramping will likely subside. Some patients report off and on cramping in the next few days, but most do not.

The procedure itself is quick, lasting only up to 5 minutes. Afterward, we’ll need you to spend about 30 minutes in the recovery room to monitor you before you’re welcome to leave.
