A positive pregnancy test doesn’t tell the whole story. Before deciding whether abortion is right for you, it’s important to learn more about your pregnancy.
At Options for Women, you can contact us to schedule a free, confidential pregnancy test, limited ultrasound, or an options consultation so you can better understand your pregnancy before making a decision.
Start with the facts about your pregnancy, then decide what comes next.
It Can Change Your Timeline
Many women estimate how far along they are based on the first day of their last menstrual period. While that’s a helpful starting point, it’s not always exact. An ultrasound provides a better estimate of gestational age, which matters because the abortion pill is only FDA-approved through 10 weeks of pregnancy.
It Can Reveal Important Medical Information
An ultrasound can also identify medical conditions that render you ineligible for an abortion.
For example, an ectopic pregnancy develops outside the uterus and cannot be treated with an elective abortion. If left untreated, this condition can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
An ultrasound can also determine whether the pregnancy is continuing to develop. Because as many as 1 in 4 known pregnancies end in miscarriage, it’s worth checking the progress of your own.
Schedule an Appointment
When looking for a quick solution, it may feel like an ultrasound delays your decision, but its real purpose is to ensure you have the crucial information you need before moving forward.
At Options for Women, you can receive a free, confidential limited ultrasound. We’ll review your ultrasound results with you so you can better understand your pregnancy before deciding what comes next.
We also provide a safe space for you to ask questions to make sure you understand all of your options.
