It’s unplanned, but we’re here for you. We care about you and your abortion decision. You probably have lots of questions about abortion, and we want you to be aware of the facts. In order to know which type of abortion you would be eligible for, you need to have an ultrasound exam to confirm the viability of your pregnancy (show a fetal heartbeat inside the uterus) and determine exactly how far along your pregnancy is (gestational age). **We offer pregnancy testing and limited obstetrical ultrasound exams. Call today to schedule a confidential appointment.** Until then, you can estimate the gestational age by counting the number of weeks from the **first day** of your last menstrual period **(LMP).** 95% of women, after having an abortion, said they wish they would have been given more information. It’s possible that you may not even need an abortion! Approximately 1 in every 4 pregnancies will end naturally by miscarriage. Yes, NATURALLY! ###### Get all the answers you need to make the choice that’s right for you.   Before you call the abortion clinic, call us.
