First Step – Pregnancy Test

The first step is to take a deep breath, and then confirm if you are pregnant or not.

A missed period is the most common indication of pregnancy, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you are pregnant. So, it is important to get an accurate pregnancy test. You will have the results during your appointment.

If you’re a student, a pregnancy test, ultrasound, and pregnancy options counseling might be FREE. If you don’t want to access your own insurance or your parent’s/caretaker’s insurance, we’ll will work with you to get the services you need and maintain your privacy. We’re here for you. No patient is ever turned away due to inability to pay!

If your pregnancy test is positive, you may qualify for an ultrasound.

We also provide pregnancy verification which is an official document that is proof of pregnancy for insurance companies and community agencies, in case you need or want this documentation.

Our compassionate and caring medical and support staff are highly trained and dedicated to helping you.
