What is the abortion pill?

Medication abortion is an FDA-approved treatment to end pregnancies up to 10 weeks. This process is up to 98% effective and considered safe for at-home use.  It involves two medications:

  • Mifepristone, which stops the pregnancy from growing.
  • Misoprostol, taken 6 to 48 hours later, which causes the uterus to cramp and empty.

Most complete this process within 24–72 hours of the second pill, with symptoms easily managed at home like cramping, heavy bleeding, nausea, and fatigue—similar to a heavy period. 

This treatment is very safe and is the most common way to have an abortion in the US. Despite popular myths, having an abortion does not increase your breast cancer risk, does not cause depression, and does not impact your ability to get pregnant in the future.

Abortion pill delivery is essential in Reno, NV

There are almost 282,000 people living in Reno, Nevada, and only 1 in-person abortion clinic.

Plus, there are at least 1 known fake clinic in the area and many more in the surrounding areas. This intentionally makes it very difficult for people seeking abortion care to get the care they need, which is exactly what fake clinics want to do. 

Knowing how to spot a fake clinic is important, especially in a city like Reno, where there are the same amount of fake and real clinics. 

If you are living in Reno and looking for an in-person abortion clinic, you may want to look into Sacramento and San Francisco as they are closer to Reno than other Nevada clinics, like Las Vegas

A major benefit of virtual abortion care with Hey Jane is knowing right away that your care is safe and trusted. Abortion pill delivery is often faster, less expensive, and can be easier to navigate than trying to find in-person care. 

If you are considering in-person care, read the following section for tips on how to tell if a clinic is legitimate or not. 

How to spot a fake abortion clinic in Reno, NV

There are at least 1 known fake clinic in Reno, Nevada and a few more in the surrounding area. Fake clinics, also called crisis pregnancy centers (CPC), may look like real medical facilities, but their goal is often to discourage people from having abortions, sometimes using guilt, scare tactics, or misleading information about risks and side effects. 

Knowing how to spot them can help you avoid delays and get the care you need. Here’s what to watch out for: 

  • They don’t list abortion services clearly
  • They won’t share pricing or timelines over the phone 
  • They advertise emotional “counseling” or “options education” 
  • They show up in Google Maps or online ads 
  • They pressure you to continue your pregnancy
  • They promote “abortion reversal” services

You can report fake clinics at exposefakeclinics.com to help protect other people seeking abortion care. If you or someone you know in Reno needs abortion care, virtual providers like Hey Jane can offer convenient, reliable care without delays or misinformation.
