There are a couple of steps to take before deciding on abortion to protect your health and safety. Be sure to receive pregnancy confirmation, including pregnancy testing and an ultrasound, to determine your next steps.
Visit ABBA Women’s Choice for free and confidential pregnancy services to ensure you’re taking care of your health and well-being.
1. A Positive Pregnancy Test
Your first step to getting answers about your pregnancy is with a pregnancy test. Confirm the presence of pregnancy hormones by taking a urine pregnancy test after your missed period.
If it’s positive, the test has detected the presence of the pregnancy hormone, hCG. A positive pregnancy test doesn’t give you all the necessary details, though. It’s just the first step.
At ABBA Women’s Choice, we don’t want you to waste your money on over-the-counter pregnancy tests. We offer free and confidential lab-quality pregnancy testing with a 99% accuracy rate.
2. An Ultrasound
An ultrasound is your next step after receiving a positive pregnancy test. It confirms three critical details of pregnancy, including:
- How far along you are (gestational age)
- The location of your pregnancy (whether it’s located within your uterus or not)
- The viability of your pregnancy (if there’s a heartbeat and your pregnancy is progressing)
An ultrasound can alert you of potential complications, including miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.
With a free limited obstetrical ultrasound at ABBA Women’s Choice, you can be fully informed and take your next steps with clarity.
3. STI/STD Testing
Do you think you may have an STD/STI? Getting tested is essential for protecting your reproductive health and preventing further infection or passing it to a partner. STIs often don’t have any symptoms, so it’s important to get tested regularly.
At ABBA Women’s Choice, we offer free limited STI/STD testing at our clinic. If you have an STI or STD when pregnant, it can lead to complications for you and your child, so it’s critical to know where your sexual health stands.
