Surgical
Home pregnancy tests available at a drug store can indicate pregnancy early after conception. Terminations performed in this very early time frame have sometimes been termed menstrual extractions.
Abortions performed prior to nine weeks from the last menstrual period (seven weeks from conception) are performed either surgically (a procedure) or medically (with drugs).
From nine weeks until 14 weeks, an abortion is performed by a dilatation and suction curettage procedure.
After 14 weeks, surgical abortions are performed by a dilatation and evacuation procedure.
