How Do I Make Sure I'm Pregnant?
Before making any decisions, it’s crucial to confirm your pregnancy. While home pregnancy tests are a good initial step, they may not always be accurate.
For certainty, consider visiting a healthcare provider or a local pregnancy center where you can receive a free, reliable pregnancy test. Knowing for sure can empower you to make informed decisions about your next steps.
When Did I Conceive?
Understanding when conception likely occurred can provide clarity about your pregnancy timeline. Conception generally happens approximately two weeks after the start of your last menstrual period. If you're uncertain about your dates, an ultrasound can accurately determine the stage of your pregnancy. Schedule a free ultrasound to get the information you need.

Understanding Your Options
While abortion may appear to be the immediate choice, it's crucial to take the time to explore all possibilities.
Parenting and adoption are also viable paths, each presenting unique challenges and rewards. It's also essential to recognize the potential for post-abortion pain, complications, and the emotional impact of the procedure.
Some individuals may feel immediate relief but could experience long-term feelings of sadness, grief, or guilt. Talking with a counselor or someone who has faced similar decisions can offer valuable insight. Request a free and confidential consultation to discuss your options.
Emotional And Physical Well-Being
Your well-being is our priority. Pregnancy, whether anticipated or unexpected, brings a range of emotions. It's natural to feel confused, scared, or even angry. Seeking emotional support from trusted friends, family, or professionals can make a meaningful difference. Counseling services are available to help you navigate these emotions and ensure you receive the support you deserve.

If you’re considering an abortion, it’s important to gather all the information and support available to you.
Local pregnancy centers offer a safe, confidential, and compassionate space for you to explore your options and make an informed decision. They can provide pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and counseling services to help you understand your situation fully.
