# Thinking About Abortion?

![Thinking About Abortion?](https://www.informedchoicesclinic.com/hubfs/iStock-1410614656.jpg)

*You may not need an abortion.*

##### Am I really pregnant?

It’s possible to have a positive pregnancy test and not be pregnant. The best way to confirm your pregnancy is through an ultrasound exam. We offer pregnancy testing and ultrasound exams.

#### How far along am I?

How far along you are will determine what kind of abortion services and procedures you would be eligible to receive–which impacts costs and possible side effects. Your first stop is Informed Choices Medical Clinic. Call now and schedule a safe, confidential appointment.

##### Is it important to know if I have an STI before I terminate a pregnancy?

Yes. Having an STI (sexually transmitted infection) when you have an abortion can cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), which can lead to a lifetime of reproductive health problems. We can provide confidential STI testing.

#### Medical Staff is Always Available

We offer a wide range of women’s health services in a warm, comfortable, and welcoming environment.

We’re Here 24/7 To Help YOU.

Call [(319)-519-0072](sms:+13195190072) for Personal Solutions.
