We always recommend an ultrasound before moving forward to safeguard your health. It's an important step to pregnancy confirmation. An ultrasound confirms these three important pregnancy details, including:

• An ultrasound tells you how far along you are (gestational age)
• An ultrasound tells you where your pregnancy is located (whether it’s located in the uterus or you are experiencing a potential ectopic pregnancy)
• An ultrasound tells you if your pregnancy is viable (has a heartbeat & is a growing pregnancy)

We offer no-cost limited ultrasounds once you've received positive pregnancy testing results with us.

There are major risks to your health with both medical and surgical abortion procedures. Along with the side effects, the following are the risks of medical abortion:

• Incomplete abortion, which may need to be followed by surgical abortion
• An ongoing pregnancy if the procedure doesn’t work
• Heavy and prolonged bleeding
• Infection
• Fever
• Digestive system discomfort

With surgical abortion, a woman typically experiences mild pain, cramping, and light bleeding after the procedure. Risks that come with a surgical abortion procedure include:

• Uterine perforation (a hole poked through the uterus)
• Infection
• Uterine bleeding
