Before Abortion:
Things to consider

Before Your Abortion

If you’re pregnant and considering abortion, your first step is to schedule a no-cost abortion information consultation which includes a free ultrasound to answer these four essential questions about your abortion plan:

1. Is my pregnancy viable?

It’s important to confirm that you are pregnant and that your pregnancy is viable. One in four pregnancies end in miscarriage before 7 weeks.1 You may not need to have an abortion. Your abortion information consultation will tell you what you need to know.

2. Is my pregnancy in the right place?

Our ultrasound evaluation will detect if your pregnancy is inside your uterus.  A pregnancy in the fallopian tubes (known as an ectopic pregnancy) is very dangerous and must be treated immediately.

3. How far along am I?

Your gestational age (the number of weeks you’ve been pregnant) determines the cost and type of abortion that you could be eligible for.

4. Do I have an STD/STI?

Having any type of abortion with an untreated STD/STI jeopardizes a woman’s health by increasing her risk of infection and other complications.2

Our no-cost abortion information consultation will help you make the pregnancy decision that’s right for you.

The No-Cost Abortion Information Consultation

At this appointment, you will meet with a Nurse or other Trained Advocate Staff member who will:

  • Review your health history and answer your medical questions.
  • Perform a clinical pregnancy test. If your pregnancy test is positive, the staff will help you process your options.
  • An ultrasound exam to confirm pregnancy and determine how far along you are may be done the same day.
  • Review all of your pregnancy options, including abortion procedures, risks and side effects.
    Provide medical, insurance, and community support referrals.
  • Provide STI/STD screening.

Schedule any follow up appointments as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Walk-ins are welcome. However, it is best to make an appointment to minimize your office wait time. Please call (907) 283-9062 or schedule an appointment online. After hours, call or text 1-800-712-4357.

A: Absolutely. You can bring your boyfriend, family member, or friend. We will talk with you privately first. Then, provided you have given us consent to have them in the room, your guest will be able to join you.

A: You’ll be welcomed by our receptionist who will introduce you to your client advocate.  She will listen to you judgment-free and provide you with information followed by a pregnancy test.  Should your test be positive, one of our caring medical professionals will conduct a limited ultrasound to confirm if you have a viable pregnancy and date fetal age. 

A: Our tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A client with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.  

If you have taken a home pregnancy test, it is best to confirm results with a laboratory-quality test at our center.

A:  We adhere to a strict privacy and confidentiality policy. Clients will be protected from disclosure of information that violates the right to privacy except when required by law, required for public health reasons, required to avert a threat of harm to the client or a third person, or when other circumstances may reasonably warrant such use or disclosure without prior authorization (e.g., abuse reporting, suicide/homicide prevention, etc.).

A: Our professional, medical-grade lab quality pregnancy test can determine pregnancy at the first day after your first missed period. We recommend you make an appointment if you have missed a period, have any pregnancy related questions, or think you might be pregnant.

A: On-site ultrasounds are available after an initial intake with one of our client advocates.  Our limited ultrasound exams are performed by a licensed nurse sonographer or RDMS (registered sonographer) and reviewed by a licensed physician.  An ultrasound confirms a viable pregnancy and determines how far along you are.  To qualify for a limited ultrasound, you’ll need to be a minimum of 6 weeks since your last menstrual period.

A: You can still meet with a member of our staff to discuss your concerns and review available options.  An ultrasound is recommended to know if your pregnancy is viable and in your uterus, since 20% – 25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage.  Additionally, the ultrasound will show how far along you are to determine what type of abortion you would choose.  We can provide a limited ultrasound at no cost to you.
