Question 1

Can I walk in or do I need to make an appointment?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend that you schedule an appointment to make sure that we are available to meet with you in a timely manner. We accept walk-ins too.

Question 2

How do I know if I am pregnant?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way to determine if you are pregnant is to take a free pregnancy test at our center. Just because your period is late doesn’t always mean you are pregnant. Stress, hormonal changes, weight gain or loss are all possible reasons for a change in your menstrual cycle. We recommend you wait until the week after your period should have started.

Question 3

How accurate is the pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Our tests are laboratory rated and 99% accurate. Urine-based pregnancy tests detect the hCG hormone in a pregnant woman’s system. Since the production of hCG can vary greatly from woman to woman, sometimes as much as 20 fold, time periods when a “positive” test occurs can also vary. Our pregnancy tests can often detect some women’s hCG level as early as 7 days after conception (21-24 days after the first day of your last period), although some women’s hCG level is not detectable until at least one week after a missed period.

Question 4

Can I have a retest if my test is negative and my period still doesn’t start?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you may be scheduled for another test. The hCG hormone concentration doubles approximately every 2.2 days during the first 3 months of pregnancy.

Question 5

When should I get an ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

An ultrasound is the next step following a positive pregnancy test. It will give you vital information such as how far along you are, if your pregnancy is viable, and if implantation has occurred inside the uterus.

Question 6

If I'm a minor, do my parents need to know about my appointment?

Accepted Answer

No. Pregnancy-related services are considered confidential even for minors (with the exception of abortion because parental consent may be required.) You are protected by HIPAA and other privacy laws. However, we do encourage you to involve your parents if you are pregnant.

Question 7

What do I need to bring to receive services?

Accepted Answer

A driver’s license or photo identification card is required to receive services.

Question 8

How much do your services cost?

Accepted Answer

All of our services are provided at no cost to our clients.

Question 9

Do you provide or refer for abortions? Do I have to make a decision right away?

Accepted Answer

We do not provide or refer for abortion services. We believe women deserve to get information from a place that does not financially benefit from your decision and talk through their options in a pressure-free environment.

Question 10

Do you provide contraceptives?

Accepted Answer

We believe your doctor is best positioned to talk with you about contraceptive needs. We do not provide contraceptives or contraceptive services.

Question 11

How are you funded?

Accepted Answer

We are funded by the generous support of individuals, organizations and grants. We receive no state or federal funding.
