I am writing this review for a few different reasons. First, as someone who found Early Options through google and citysearch reviews, I want to address an important consideration. If you're like me, you are probably skeptical of the many, many positive reviews. I was. Regardless, I felt it was my best option for a private and uncomplicated abortion. I am now on the other side of the process and can honestly say that the website information and reviews by and large are accurate and true.

My husband and I were never expecting to have to make this decision. Because this was the most difficult thing I've ever done, I'm having a hard time describing the experience positively. However, the manual aspiration procedure, as described, was very quick and only slightly uncomfortable. The nurse was extremely calm and reassuring. The doctor answered my (few) questions as I was already pretty prepared. After the procedure was done (truly less than 5 minutes), my husband and I were a bit emotional. We were comforted and offered tea, snacks and as much time as we needed. While we have resolved to never do this again, I am thankful that I was able to afford THIS type of care in THIS setting as opposed to the many other options out there.
