Manchester Abortion Advice
You are not alone. At Home Abortion Pills available.
Looking for abortion advice in the Manchester area?
We know how important it is to be able to find quality, impartial advice when considering abortion. At MSI Reproductive Choices UK we provide counselling services for anyone who would like to talk through their abortion options before booking their consultation appointment.
Counselling is the process of talking through your worries or questions with a qualified professional. It is a form of talking therapy that lets you discuss your feelings in a confidential and non-judgemental environment. You can get in touch with us whenever you want, even if you haven’t made a decision about whether to access abortion care, and are just looking for more information about your pregnancy options.
You are not alone: you can have a consultation appointment for NHS-funded abortion care within 48 hours.
Nearly one in three pregnancies ends in an abortion worldwide. Yet, this aspect of healthcare is not often talked about in every day conversation. Abortion stigma can make some people feel like their decision must be kept secret and silent, we are here for you.
Our abortion services
At MSI UK, we offer both medical and surgical abortion care.
A medical abortion (also known as the abortion pill) involves taking two types of medication (mifepristone and misoprostol) at two different times, to end a pregnancy. At MSI UK, a medical abortion is available up to 9 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. We offer both face-to-face medical abortion care, and at-home abortion pills (also known as telemedicine).
A surgical abortion is a safe and simple procedure used to end a pregnancy, and involves the pregnancy being removed vaginally by an experienced doctor either by using suction (vacuum aspiration) or specialised instruments (dilation and evacuation). At MSI UK, a surgical abortion is available up to 23 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy.
NHS-funded abortion counselling
The counselling team at MSI Reproductive Choices UK are highly trained, experienced, and qualified to help you explore and manage your thoughts, feelings, and options as you make decisions about your care. Counsellors are approved by the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy.
It’s important to know that our counsellors don’t offer you advice, but instead help you deal with issues and realise your coping strategies.
We have both male and female counsellors in our team. If you would be more comfortable talking to a counsellor of a specific sex, please let us know when you call to arrange the appointment.
What is an abortion or “termination of pregnancy”?
An abortion is the deliberate medical process of ending a pregnancy. An abortion is also known as a ‘termination’ or ‘termination of pregnancy‘. At MSI Reproductive Choices UK we offer two types of abortion care: medical abortion (abortion pills) and surgical abortion.
If you’d like to talk through your options, call us on 0345 300 8090 for a confidential chat.
