What happens if I have complications?
You can always call our 24/7 nursing line, or message your care team in the patient portal, with any concerns. Complications from medication abortion are uncommon, and they occur in less than 1% of patients. However, if you experience any of these symptoms, you should seek emergency medical care.
Is your care private?
Yes. Hey Jane is HIPAA-compliant and will never discuss your care with a partner, parent, or anyone else without your written authorization. If you're covered as a dependent on someone else's insurance or Medicaid, keep in mind the policyholder may receive standard insurance communications from the plan.
Is medication abortion safe?
Yes. Medication abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol is FDA-approved and works up to 98% of the time when used correctly. Complications are rare—they occur in less than 1% of patients.
