Woman Taking The Abortion Pill

From Tennessee and Thinking About the Abortion Pill? Here’s What You Should Know

Living in Tennessee right now can feel like carrying a weight you didn’t ask for, especially if you’re facing a pregnancy you can’t continue. Restrictions and shifting laws make it harder to get clear answers, and sometimes it seems like nowhere close to home feels safe or private enough to turn for help.

That’s why many people in Tennessee are looking beyond state lines for abortion pill care. And it’s why CARE Clinic Colorado, based in Pueblo, CO, exists, to help you find safe, legal, compassionate options when local ones have disappeared.

The Abortion Pill: Separating Fact from Fiction

Let’s talk straight. The term “abortion pill” often sounds like a single magic tablet, but it’s actually a carefully managed medical process involving two medications:

  • Mifepristone, which stops pregnancy hormones from working.
  • Misoprostol, which makes the uterus contract and empty.

This method is safe, highly effective (over 95% when used correctly), and approved for use up to 11 weeks of pregnancy. Physically, it often feels like a heavy period, with cramping and bleeding. For some, it’s mild; for others, more intense. Either way, it’s a process best done under the guidance of experienced medical professionals.

At CARE Clinic Colorado, we’re committed to explaining every step in clear language. We help you know what’s normal, what’s not, and when to reach out for help.

Why Tennesseans Choose CARE Clinic Colorado

Choosing to leave Tennessee for care isn’t easy, but people often say they feel a sense of relief once they know there’s a safe place waiting for them. Here’s why patients come to us:

  • Legal protection: Colorado’s laws safeguard your right to abortion care.
  • Privacy and discretion: We keep your information confidential, always.
  • Options for care: We offer the abortion pill in-clinic or by mail when legally possible.
  • No judgment: Our focus is medical care and patient support, not politics or moral lectures.

We believe reproductive health decisions belong to you alone. Our team is here to provide accurate information and compassionate support so you can make the choice that’s best for you.

Traveling from Tennessee: What It Really Takes

Travel can feel overwhelming. But plenty of people from Tennessee have made the trip to Colorado and found it manageable. Here’s how it usually works:

  • Flights: Cities like Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville offer frequent flights to Denver International Airport. From Denver, Pueblo is about a two-hour drive.
  • Driving: Highways like I-40 connect Tennessee westward, then into Colorado. Some patients prefer driving for privacy and flexibility, even though it’s a longer journey.

If you decide to travel, CARE Clinic Colorado’s staff can help you plan the logistics so you’re not figuring it all out alone.

More Than Medicine: Support You Can Rely On

Abortion care isn’t only about medical procedures, it’s about your peace of mind. At CARE Clinic Colorado, we provide:

  • Flexible scheduling to accommodate travel plans.
  • Clear explanations about what to expect before, during, and after care.
  • Telehealth consultations when legally possible and medically appropriate.
  • Respectful, compassionate staff who understand that every patient’s situation is unique.

Our mission is to help you feel safe, informed, and supported from start to finish.

Your Next Step: Exploring Your Options

There’s no obligation when you reach out, just honest, confidential information to help you make the choice that’s right for you.

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.
