Medication Abortion by Mail

At All Families, we understand that traveling to our clinic in Whitefish, MT may pose a barrier to abortion access. We offer medication abortion by mail services where we can mail you the medications within Montana.

Medication Abortion Delivered!

Please read about what is medication abortion before considering a by mail medication abortion option.

  • We can mail anywhere within Montana state lines. If you can drive into Montana, but do not have a mailing address in the state, please contact our clinic staff who can help you find a shipping address.

    The pills are sent through a mail-order pharmacy in discreet shipping.

  • You can either have a telehealth visit with our provider or you can have the pills sent to you without ever speaking to a provider.

  • This will consist of a 10-20 minute phone call with our provider who will talk with you about what to expect from a medication abortion. Birth control counseling is also available.

    Appointments are typically available same-day.

  • If you are interested in medication abortion and do not want to talk to a provider first, All Families Healthcare offers medication abortion without a virtual visit with a provider.

    You will be provided with instructions on how to take your medication through email and will be given access to an urgent line.

  • If you have regular menstrual periods about once a month, simply counting the number of days since the first day of your last menstrual period usually gives an accurate estimate of how far along the pregnancy is.

    To use this method to estimate the length of the pregnancy, use the Gestational Age Estimator.

    If you do not have regular, normal menstrual periods or do not remember the date your last period started, this method will not work well. In such cases, we’ll work with you to arrange for an ultrasound before your medication abortion.

    Current guidelines support medication abortion without ultrasound. But not having an ultrasound does carry some risks:

    If the pregnancy is much more than 11 weeks along, the chance of abortion failure increases, which could result in heavy bleeding and the need for a procedure to complete the abortion.

    If the pregnancy is an ectopic pregnancy – i.e., it is growing outside the uterus, usually in the tube – the treatment will not work to end the pregnancy, and the detection of the condition may be delayed. Ectopic pregnancy is quite rare but it can be dangerous. It is usually treated with a surgical procedure or with medication.
