Abortion Next Steps
It is important to take one step at a time, and not get ahead of yourself and do something you may regret later. Sometimes emotions can get ahead of us. Taking one careful step at a time allows your emotions to catch up to the facts and information that you gather.
An ultrasound is the only way to confirm a viable pregnancy, fetal location, and gestational age (how far along you are). This information determines which abortion procedure you would qualify for, to help you make a decision with confidence.
The next best step is to schedule an appointment with Options, so we can provide you with a Free pregnancy test, and a Free (limited) ultrasound for those that medically qualify. All of this is provided by a registered nurse. At this appointment, we also provide you with more details about abortion types, methods, risks, possible side effects and complications, costs, and alternatives. We can also help answer your questions.
After this appointment you will have more information about your choices and will feel confident to take the next steps.
