Resources for patients
A curated set of tools, protocols, and support resources you can share directly with your patients. Everything here is medically reviewed, mobile-friendly, and designed for abortion seekers navigating the process on their own.
Pregnancy calculator
A quick, private tool to help your patients estimate gestational age based on their last menstrual period – useful for initial assessment and determining which protocol applies to their situation.
Pregnancy Calculator
Enter the first day of the last menstrual period to estimate gestational weeks.
If the patient is unsure of their last menstrual period or has irregular cycles, this result may be less accurate. Consider a clinical assessment or ultrasound if symptoms don't align with the calculated gestational age.
How to Calculate Correctly
Use the first day of the patient's most recent period
Estimate as closely as possible if the exact date is uncertain
Don't count from the date of intercourse or estimated conception
Don't use ovulation dates instead of the period start date
