Before Your Abortion
If you’re pregnant and considering abortion, your first step is a free pre-termination evaluation to answer these three essential questions:
- Is my pregnancy viable?
One in five pregnancies end before 7 weeks.1 You may not need to have an abortion. - How far along am I?
Your gestational age determines the type of abortion that you could be eligible for. - Do I have an STD?
Having any type of abortion with an untreated STD jeopardizes a woman’s health by increasing her risk of infection and other complications.2
Our free Pre-Termination Evaluation will help you make the pregnancy decision that’s right for you.
At Your Appointment
You will meet with a Nurse who will:
- Review the Reproductive Health Screening that you will be receiving, including pregnancy testing, ultrasound, and STD testing.
- Review your health history and answer your medical questions.
- Perform a clinical pregnancy test. If positive,
- Perform an ultrasound exam to confirm pregnancy and determine how far along you are.
- Review all of your pregnancy options, including abortion procedures, risks and side effects.
- Review your customized Personal Resource List and provide any necessary medical, insurance, and community support referrals.
- Schedule another appointment for you to receive your test results in one week.
