Ultrasound Services
By getting a free ultrasound* exam before an abortion, you learn more about the following(1):
Confirming a viable pregnancy
A viable pregnancy is determined by detecting a heartbeat. Without a heartbeat, a natural miscarriage may be occurring(2). We also confirm if the pregnancy is developing in the uterus. If not, it is an ectopic pregnancy(3), a medical emergency.
Can you take the abortion pill?
Before considering the abortion pill, it's crucial to determine your pregnancy stage and gather essential medical information(4). This empowers you to make an informed decision. If your pregnancy is past 10 weeks.(5) Taking the abortion pill later in pregnancy is associated with increased risk of complications, such as an incomplete abortion or severe bleeding.
Available abortion options?
The gestational age of the pregnancy determines the types of abortion procedures typically used. If you can’t have a medical abortion, or don’t prefer that method, a surgical procedure may be an option. Find out how far along in pregnancy you are through an ultrasound to help determine your abortion procedure options. All of our services are free and confidential.
* 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.
