PREGNANCY TEST

Whenever you have sex, there is a chance for pregnancy. A missed period is the most common indication, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you are pregnant. If you think you may be pregnant, please contact us for an appointment to take a FREE and confidential pregnancy test. We will provide you with a lab quality pregnancy test, and you will receive the results during your appointment.

ULTRASOUND

Getting a lab quality pregnancy test and an ultrasound are the first steps you can take in making informed choices about your health.

Before making a pregnancy decision, contact Informed Choices about a free limited obstetrical ultrasound to confirm your pregnancy is viable. Your ultrasound scan will be performed by a registered nurse and read by a physician to confirm that your pregnancy is in the uterus, measure development, and to check the baby’s heartbeat.

Sometimes certain health concerns require medical attention that Informed Choices does not provide and we encourage the pursuit of medical care with a physician.

* Ultrasound scans are used to confirm the presence of a viable, uterine pregnancy. We do not use ultrasound to determine gender or diagnose abnormalities. Eligibility criteria apply.
