 So she drove to a reproductive health clinic that was about an hour from her house. So I took one pill in the room with the ultrasound technician, and I think the doctor was there. And then I was instructed to take the second pill the next day, which I did at home. The first pill Roble took, called mithopristone, stops the flow of progesterone to the pregnancy, which is a hormone that supports fetal growth.
