Are You Seeking or Considering An Abortion?

We know this may be a stressful time for you, and that you're here because you either want an abortion or because you're considering an abortion, but it's important to have all the information. For instance, did you know that 25% of conceptions miscarry naturally? Take the following steps to avoid unnecessary procedures:

Step 1: Confirm that you are pregnant
Before you make any decisions, you'll need to verify that you're actually pregnant.  Even if you have pregnancy symptoms or have taken a home test, it may help to have a free pregnancy test.

Our tests are lab-quality and may be more accurate than a home test.  Remember, most tests are not reliable until you are 4 weeks past the first day of your last period.

​
Step 2: See if your pregnancy is viable
If you are pregnant and considering abortion, you may not need one.  Studies show that up to 25% of all pregnancies end in natural miscarriage -- avoiding the need for an abortion. 

A free ultrasound can confirm whether or not your pregnancy is viable at this time or at risk for a natural miscarriage.  It can also determine how far along you are in your pregnancy.

Ultrasounds to determine viability can be offered beginning in the 6th week of pregnancy after a registered ultrasound technologist reviews your records.

​

Step 3: Make an informed decision
Choices in life should be made with the most complete information.  An unplanned pregnancy can be very stressful.

You may have concerns about your finances, emotional support, family and friends, your education, your job, making a decision that is consistent with your values, or your short-term and long-term health.
