Pre-Abortion Screening
A pre-abortion screening provides vital information and protects your health.
After finding out that you are pregnant, you may be considering an abortion. Regardless of whether you are thinking about a medical or surgical abortion, it is essential to gather critical information about your pregnancy to protect your health.
Elevate Women’s Center offers pre-abortion screenings to supply the answers you need. Contact us today to schedule an appointment at no cost to you.
Before making a decision, confirming the following is essential:
1. Am I Pregnant?
Your first step is to confirm that you are pregnant. Sometimes women can get a false negative if the test is taken too early or incorrectly.
When you contact us to schedule an appointment, we can help you determine the right time to take a pregnancy test. We offer lab-quality pregnancy tests at no cost to you!
2. Is the Pregnancy Viable?
If you have confirmed your pregnancy with a pregnancy test, you will want to have an ultrasound. During an ultrasound, the sonographer checks to see if your pregnancy is viable (progressing and has a heartbeat) or not. This is important information; about 10-20% of all known pregnancies end in miscarriage.
The sonographer will also use the ultrasound to determine the location of your pregnancy. Sometimes, women have an ectopic pregnancy, which is a pregnancy that is located outside of the uterus, such as in one of the fallopian tubes.
If left untreated, an ectopic pregnancy can become very dangerous to the woman’s health and cause life-threatening complications. You will need to seek immediate medical attention.
If you are considering abortion, an ultrasound is needed to protect your health. Elevate Women’s Center offers ultrasounds on a limited basis due to high demand. Call us at (479) 487-2456 today for more information and to learn our eligibility criteria.
3. Do I Have an STD?
Before making a decision, it is essential to ensure that you do not have any STDs. Even if you do not have any symptoms of one, it is critical to get tested.
Sometimes, STDs are asymptomatic, and if left untreated, they can increase your risk of developing PID, otherwise known as pelvic inflammatory disease, or cause other complications like pelvic pain and infertility.
Elevate Women’s Center offers free STD testing and treatment for the following STDs:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
