After an abortion, you may have a lot of questions, but might be too embarrassed to talk to your provider on the phone about it. Rest assured: you have nothing to worry about (we’ve heard it all!), but we get it. That’s why we made Cara, an empathetic, nonjudgmental, supportive, and affirming online text support system to accompany you as you go through the medication abortion experience at home.

Your Clinician’s Support — Available at Your Fingertips
carafem’s highly-qualified medical team cataloged hundreds of questions we’ve received from clients like you and created customized, thoughtful, medically accurate responses for Cara. As a virtual assistant for at home medical abortion support, carafem physicians programmed Cara to be responsive to your needs and proactively check in with you to ensure you’re always receiving support.
If Cara is ever unable to fully answer your questions or if you need further medical support, you will be directly connected with a member of your care team from your initial appointment. You can even conduct your virtual follow-up check-ins with Cara. Not sure what to ask Cara? Check out these uncomfortable abortion questions!
Hear What Clients Have to Say About Cara
After their appointment with carafem, these clients shared how they appreciated Cara’s support while they took the abortion pill as well as during their follow-up.
“I know if I visit Carafem again, I look forward to using the chatbot again. And I kind of look forward to it in the future like, you know, with my other doctors. Like I’m going to be expecting that chatbot. I think Cara started a trend that I’m going to be looking forward to from all doctors.”
“The timing, her timing was very good because when I thought, you know, I was alone, I wasn’t. All the times when I felt alone, I wasn’t because Cara was right there [and would] like just surprisingly come through and check on me.”
“I know I woke up to a message, and I was surprised. Yes, I did, I know I woke up Sunday and Cara asked me, did you finish the procedure yet? Let me know. And I was all surprised, I forgot that Cara was supposed to text me…my best friend didn’t text me yet.”
