Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Most Common Pregnancy Symptoms?

The most common symptom of pregnancy is a missed period. However, if you have irregular periods, this symptom may be misleading.​ Other common pregnancy symptoms include tender/swollen breasts, nausea, fatigue, mood swings, frequent urination, and more.​

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, make an appointment today.

Emergency Contraception

What is Plan B? Plan B One-Step is intended to prevent pregnancy after contraceptive failure or unprotected intercourse. It is recommended to be taken within 72 hours of intercourse. Plan B One-Step does not require a prescription, and will not disrupt an implanted pregnancy. It should not be used as a substitute for regular birth control, because it isn’t as effective.

What is Ella? Ella (ulipristal) is an emergency contraceptive for use within 5 days of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It is to be used only once during a menstrual cycle. If used as directed, Ella is reported to reduce the chance of pregnancy but is not effective in every case. Ella may reduce the chance of pregnancy by preventing or postponing ovulation. It also may work by preventing an embryo from implanting in the uterus, which is a form of early abortion.

Talk to us today to learn more about these forms of emergency contraception and confirm if you’re pregnant.

How much will my appointment cost?

All our services are offered at no cost to you because we care! You also don’t need to provide proof of insurance.

Why Do I Need an Ultrasound?

An ultrasound is the only method that can 100% confirm a pregnancy and determine how far along you are.

If you are considering abortion, it is very important that you first have an ultrasound to see if the pregnancy is viable. Abortion costs vary depending on how far along you are, which can also only be verified through a diagnostic ultrasound.

Do I Need an Appointment?

We recommend making an appointment request online to be sure you are seen at your convenience. Walk-ins are also welcome. If an appointment is available, we will do our best to see you that day.

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes! We want you to feel as comfortable as possible when coming in for your appointment. We encourage you to bring your partner with you, if possible. If he is unavailable, then feel free to bring a friend, parent, or family member who is supportive of you and your wishes.

Note: If someone insists on coming with you but you do not want them in the consultation room with you, please let a staff member or client advocate know on your appointment form or upon arrival.

Is My Appointment Completely Confidential?
