An ultrasound is important not to skip when seeking answers about your pregnancy options and considering abortion. It’s vital to protect your health before an abortion.
After receiving a positive pregnancy test, an ultrasound can tell you how far along you are, confirm viability, and confirm pregnancy location. All of these details are vital to knowing what type of abortion might be available to you and being alerted to potential pregnancy complications.
We can offer no-cost ultrasounds after receiving positive pregnancy test results at Options Clinic. You deserve the facts.
1. Know How Far Along You Are
Since different abortion methods occur at different points of pregnancy, an ultrasound is needed to provide the clarity you need when considering this option.
The FDA only approves medical abortion (the abortion pill) for women through 10 weeks of pregnancy. After that point, the risks of abortion to your health increase.
2. Determine Viability
The Mayo Clinic shares that around 10-20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. It’s important to rule out this complication with proper pregnancy confirmation via an ultrasound and further medical attention as needed.
3. Confirm Pregnancy Location
Pregnancies should be located in the uterus to grow and develop. An ultrasound will determine your pregnancy’s location, ensuring you have the information needed to protect your health and receive additional medical care if necessary.
