Frequently Asked Questions

What are missed period pills?

Missed period pills are for when someone is late for their normally regular cycle, and needs to manage their menstrual cycle by taking medication to induce their period. It can help people who may be too early to have a pregnancy test, or do not have access to a pregnancy test.

The pills are the same as abortion pills, but the person using them may or may not be pregnant.

So where do I start with buying abortion pills?
