It happens to everyone. You make an appointment with the best of intentions. But sometimes, life gets in the way, and you find yourself running late. Maybe extremely late. Maybe you miss your appointment completely.

At Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, our number one priority is providing compassionate care for you, no matter your situation, no matter your past experiences, and no matter whether you’ve missed your scheduled appointment. We know that walking through an unexpected pregnancy requires a lot, and sometimes that means unexpected changes in schedule.

Read on to learn what to do if you miss your appointment at Two Lines and answers to some of the other most common questions around the subject.

What happens if I miss my appointment?

If you schedule an appointment with Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic and do not show up, we follow up with you through a phone call or a text message to make sure everything is okay and if you want, help you book a new appointment. There is no cost penalty for missing an appointment, and there is no cost to reschedule. 

If I miss my appointment, how do I book a new one?

The simplest way to re-book after missing an appointment is to go back to the text you received after making your original appointment. You can reschedule through that text message, which is connected to any other information we’ve already received from you.

You are also welcome to book an appointment online or call us at 913-430-4722.

What if I can’t find childcare during my appointment?

This is a common issue that many women face, and we don’t want it to be an obstacle for you. While it may be easiest to come to your Two Lines appointment alone, we also know that sometimes challenges come up in finding childcare. If that happens, your children are welcome to join you at your appointment.

Do you charge missed appointment fees or late fees?

No. We offer no-cost care, and there is no charge for arriving late or missing an appointment. If you’re running late, it is helpful to call and give us a heads-up, but please still come to your appointment if you can. 

What if my work hours make it difficult for me to schedule an appointment?

We know that work hours can make it challenging for many women to schedule an appointment. That’s why in addition to being open Monday through Friday, our clinic is also open on Saturday morning, providing flexibility to weekday work hours. And when scheduling ahead isn’t possible, we also take same-day walk-in appointments.

We’re also here for you anytime you need help. You can reach us 24 hours a day at our help line: 913-395-8424.

Other providers offer telehealth options. Why don’t you?

Some medical services can be delivered effectively via telehealth, but medical-grade pregnancy tests and sonograms provide critical information about your pregnancy and cannot be performed virtually. Our amazing medical team is ready to meet you in person, answer your questions, and provide the services you need to move forward in your pregnancy journey with confidence.

If I come for an appointment, will I be pressured into making a certain decision?

We do not pressure any woman at Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic. We provide all the services, education, and care you need to make an informed decision about your pregnancy and your health. 

If you’ve missed an appointment, there’s no judgment, no shame—only care.  At Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic we’re here for you.

After taking the first abortion pill, you may regret that you took it or doubt your decision wondering, “Is it too late to change my mind?” “Did I make the right decision?”

You’re not alone. And it may not be too late to change your mind, but you have to act quickly. Call Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic.

Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic is committed to providing compassionate care in times of regret and uncertainty especially for women who have taken the first abortion pill. 

One couple was left asking the same questions you might be asking yourself as they wrestled with their own regret after taking the first abortion pill.

Ace and Jayla were in a long distance relationship, dreaming of their big plans for life after school. Then, Jayla discovered she was pregnant. Shocked and taken off guard, given the plans they had, they  decided to abort the pregnancy using chemical abortion. 

But after Jayla took the first abortion pill, she and Ace began to wonder. ‘Is this really what we want?’ 

In their moment of uncertainty, Jayla reached out to Two Lines, “I was looking up places to see  what could be done and Two Lines was the first place that popped up. I was seen immediately and they informed me that yes it can be reversed, which I didn’t know.”

Jayla was informed that Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) had a 60% chance of success in preserving her pregnancy.

For Ace and Jayla, this was the hope they were looking for. Jayla immediately began taking a regime of progesterone to counteract the effects of the first abortion pill. 

“I started coming every week to Two Lines to be seen,” said Jayla. “They filled me with so much love. I am totally grateful.”

Today, Ace and Jayla’s little girl is approaching her first birthday, and everyone is healthy, happy, and thriving. And, Two Lines is still there to help Ace and Jayla navigate young parenthood. 

Ace and Jayla both attend parenting support classes at Two Lines, along with other young couples. Ace in particular appreciates this continued support. “We come here not just to learn new things but just to have that support system – a group of people to check in with you and make sure everything is going well, not just with the baby but with how you are doing as a person and how you are doing as a couple.”

If you are having second thoughts after taking the first abortion pill, like Ace and Jayla did, it might not be too late. And if you’re scared about what comes next even after changing your mind—how to take care of your pregnancy or how to support your baby if APR is successful—resources and support are available to you. And you can get help making a plan to navigate your next steps forward with Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic. Two Lines exists to help women facing unexpected pregnancies like yours. You don’t have to walk alone.

The care we provide is at no cost  to you—that includes Abortion Pill Reversal.

If you’ve taken the abortion pill or are considering it, you deserve clear and honest information about what can happen afterward.

A recent large-scale study analyzed medical insurance data from 865,727 abortion pill prescriptions in the United States between 2017 and 2023, making it one of the most comprehensive studies of medication abortion outcomes to date.

Researchers followed women’s medical records for 45 days after taking the abortion pill to identify serious health complications.

What they found raises important questions about how the abortion pill is often described.

The Key Finding: About 1 in 10 Women Experienced a Serious Medical Event

The study found that 10.93 percent of women experienced a serious adverse event after taking the abortion pill. That means about 1 in 10 women experienced complications serious enough to require medical attention.

These complications included:

• Severe bleeding (hemorrhaging)
• Infection or sepsis
• Emergency room visits
• Hospitalization
• Blood transfusions
• Additional surgical procedures

The researchers only counted serious or life-threatening complications, meaning milder side effects were not included in this number.

Why Researchers Say This Matters

For years, the abortion pill has often been described as having a serious complication rate of less than 0.5 percent. But that number comes from older clinical trials involving about 30,000 participants, many of which were conducted more than a decade ago in controlled research settings. This newer research looked at real-world medical data from hundreds of thousands of women across the United States. Based on that larger dataset, researchers concluded that the real-world complication rate may be at least 22 times higher than the figure reported on the drug label.

The Abortion Pill Is a Medical Process

Medication abortion usually involves two drugs.

The first medication, mifepristone, blocks the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for the pregnancy to continue. The second medication, misoprostol, causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.

Because this process often happens at home, women may experience heavy bleeding and cramping without direct medical supervision.

While some women complete the process without complications, the study’s findings show that serious medical events do happen and may require emergency care.

Every organization has a mission that guides its work and a vision it is trying to achieve. Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic is no different. Yet, perhaps no one is better equipped to share who Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic is and what the organization does than those Two Lines serves. And, so the year-end blog features a look at Two Lines as seen and felt by actual Two Lines clients: 

Coming to the Clinic

“We arrived seeking an abortion. What we found was hope.” —Two Lines Client

When someone arrives at Two Lines, they will always be warmly greeted, made to feel comfortable, and ensured they will not walk along this journey alone.

So many people arrive at Two Lines scared, unsure, and isolated. Above anything else, Two Lines aims to connect with the expectant mother–she is the mission.  

The Support Received

“They greeted me with smiles. They told me they were there to walk me through this, that I didn’t have to walk through my pregnancy alone. And it changed my whole pregnancy.” —Naomi, Two Lines Client.

So many women come to Two Lines and all they feel is the messiness of their life and the fear it cultivates. Pregnancy feels impossible. At this tender time, Two Lines first gets to know the client as a person. They are not pressured to make a decision, because the sole motivation is to serve and support them. The aim at Two Lines is to join them and walk with them. Connection is the motivation, and the best way to connect with someone is to show them the love they don’t expect to receive.

“Two Lines helped me set a plan. That was instrumental to have an idea of the next steps… to know it was possible.” —Taylor, Two Lines Client

No one pregnancy is the same as another, and no two women have the same lived experience. This means no two pregnancy plans are the same. So, when Two Lines journeys with you, they make a plan that only works for you. From prenatal care, to choosing an OBGYN, to selecting a hospital to deliver in, Two Lines doesn’t just create any plan. They help you create your plan.

Forging a Community

“I’m a young mom and I felt very alone. I just really wanted a community with young parents, other parents that I can learn from.” —Destanee, Connections Long-Term Parenting Support Client

“My wife and I are here all by ourselves, we don’t have a family here. So just somebody else to talk to and being in the right environment was the biggest support.” —Varun, Husband of Two Lines Client

Along with the care and connection provided, Two Lines is also dedicated to helping young women and young couples realize there is an entire community of support. This is why Connections Classes help connect the people Two Lines serves to one another, giving them a support system of shared understanding. Within such a community, people come to know there are others who have gone through and are experiencing the same things as them, and who can provide insights and advice for where they are.

Isolation is a destroyer of hope, but a community preserves and grows it.

This is why Two Lines cares so much about connecting with those they serve and connecting them to one another.

The Two Lines Difference

“She told me, ‘everything will come.’ She basically was telling me—they not goin’ give up on me.” —Jasmine, Two Lines Client

Two Lines strives to provide everyone the essential care and supplies needed to thrive before and after they deliver their child. Two Lines is completely donor supported, receiving no state or federal funding. It is because of generous donor support that Two Lines is able to offer no-cost services to women facing unexpected pregnancies, and can offer more support than women realize. 

The Mission Continues

Do not journey through this year alone. Schedule an appointment online, and come experience how there is more support for you than you even realize.

“Abortion pill” is the common name for using two different medicines to end a pregnancy: mifepristone and misoprostol. The process combines two separate pills that are taken within 48 hours of each other during the first 70 days or 10 weeks of pregnancy. Abortion pills are different from the “morning-after pill”, which is taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy.

While some women are sure of their abortion decisions, many women experience immediate regret upon taking the first abortion pill and desire to stop the medical abortion process. The good news is: there is hope. Through a safe and effective treatment called abortion pill reversal, it’s possible to counteract the effect of the first abortion pill, allowing for a successful pregnancy.

At Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, we provide abortion pill reversal to women who want to stop the medical abortion process. Read on to learn more about the treatment and its effectiveness.

How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?

Two different pillsare involved in the abortion pill process: the first pill blocks progesterone, the hormone in a woman’s body needed to sustain a healthy pregnancy. The second pill is taken a few days after the first andcauses the uterus to contract and, ultimately, expel the pregnancy.

Abortion pill reversal involves taking progesterone, prescribed by a medical provider, as either a pill to be taken orally or vaginally or as an intramuscular injection. Abortion pill reversal is only effective if started after the first abortion pill but before the second, and it’s important to begin as soon as possible after having taken the first abortion pill—ideally within 24 hours. 

The goal of increasing progesterone is to counterbalance the effect of mifepristone, the first abortion pill. By increasing the level of progesterone in the woman’s body, we provide her body with what it needs to sustain her pregnancy. Abortion pill reversal treatment will usually continue through the first trimester of pregnancy.

Is Abortion Pill Reversal Effective?

One case study which followed 754 women who wanted to stop their in-progress chemical abortions demonstrated that Abortion Pill Reversal protocol has a 64%-68% success rate in saving a pregnancy. While certainly not a guarantee, abortion pill reversal offers real hope of counteracting the effects of chemical abortion and saving a pregnancy.

As mentioned previously, the ideal timeframe to start the reversal process is within 24 hours of taking the first abortion pill. However, there have been successful abortion pill reversals when treatment was started within 72 hours of the first abortion pill. When it comes to abortion pill reversal’s effectiveness, time is of the essence. If you have taken the first abortion pill and desire to stop the chemical abortion process, call us today. It may not be too late. We’re here for you. 

Is Abortion Pill Reversal Safe?

The abortion pill reversal protocol usesnatural progesterone to counter the abortion drug. Progesterone is completely safe and is associated with no known birth defects. It is a naturally occurring hormone in women’s bodies that has been used safely in pregnancy, including to treat recurrent miscarriage and infertility treatments, for over 50 years. Thousands of women have successfully reversed the abortion pill process and saved their pregnancies, leading to happy, healthy babies.

Side effects of the abortion pill reversal process are the normal potential side effects associated with progesterone, which may include sleepiness, lack of energy, lightheadedness, dizziness, gastrointestinal discomfort, and headaches. These symptoms may be relieved by increased fluid intake.
