Pregnancy Confirmation Services
Before making any pregnancy decision (including abortion), you should confirm your pregnancy and verify crucial details.
Symptoms alone can’t guarantee you’re pregnant. We provide lab-quality pregnancy testing to give you an initial result. Then, we’ll offer a limited obstetrical ultrasound if you receive a positive result.
An ultrasound will determine whether your pregnancy is progressing, if it is located in the uterus, and how far along you are. This scan helps decide whether or not you’re eligible for the abortion pill (the FDA has approved abortion drugs only through 10 weeks gestation).
With the facts in hand, you can move forward and start learning more about this option.
Abortion Information Consultation
Once you’ve confirmed your pregnancy, our licensed healthcare professionals will review your reproductive health and medical history, recommend STD testing to further protect your sexual health, and provide accurate information on abortion procedures, including the abortion pill.
Why does this matter? Abortion is a procedure with risks and side effects, and if you’re considering the abortion pill, it’s critical to assess your health and well-being.
For example, the abortion pill comes with risks like heavy, prolonged bleeding and infection. Not every woman is eligible to take abortion drugs if factors like having an IUD or certain health conditions apply. For this reason, it’s vital to discuss your health beforehand with a qualified professional.
Our medical staff will also explain West Virginia abortion law to you. Abortion is illegal in West Virginia except in cases of rape or incest, fatal fetal abnormalities, and if the woman’s life is at risk. This means you’d likely have to seek an abortion out of state.
There’s a lot to consider when you’re weighing pregnancy options. We’re here to help with accurate information, compassionate staff, and a listening ear. It’s your decision, and you deserve the facts.
