It is recommended that you have a home test verified by our lab quality urine pregnancy tests. (we do not provide blood tests) If your test is positive, we can then offer you an ultrasound to determine 3 things: if the pregnancy is viable (living), the gestational age (how far along you are) and that the pregnancy is located in the uterus (as opposed to fallopian tubes). This is a necessary step in making a decision that is best for you.

If your pregnancy is viable, we will provide you with up-to-date information on all of your options in a confidential manner. We do not provide abortions at our center, but will discuss your options so you can make an informed decision.
