How long before you can have a surgical abortion?

7 weeks: Surgical methods are usually employed between gestational ages of 7-14 weeks. Non-surgical methods are employed at a gestational age out of this range.

5 weeks: Most doctors will recommend waiting to have an abortion until you're 5 weeks confirmed on an ultrasound. If you're earlier then it's possible your doctor will miss the pregnancy and you'll remain pregnant. 5 weeks is where we're more likely to see the gestational sac and confirm that your procedure was complete.
