Thinking Abortion?

What Is My First Step If I Am Considering Abortion?

Your first step is to make an appointment at Options for Women to verify pregnancy and review your options. Your no cost pre-abortion consult includes:

  • Lab-quality pregnancy testing
  • Your limited OB ultrasound (based on LMP)
  • Referrals for limited STD/STI testing and treatment, community resources and other practical help.
Before considering an abortion, you need to verify you are pregnant and how far along you are, so you know all of the options available to you. At Options for Women, we offer pregnancy testing, pre-abortion consults, and limited ultrasounds all at no cost to you.

It’s important for you to know that this is your decision. You’re in charge. We have several Life Coaches on staff to help you and support you during this time.

What You Should Know:

The importance of an ultrasound

  • An ultrasound will verify the gestational age of the fetus. This is especially helpful if you have irregular periods, have frequent spotting, or are not sure when you had your last period.
Ultrasound also determines the viability of the pregnancy. This is important since 20% – 25% of first trimester pregnancies end in miscarriage. Should the ultrasound reveal that the fetus is growing outside of the uterus (known as an ectopic pregnancy), you will be given instructions for immediate medical attention, as this condition can be life-threatening.

Considering Abortion?

At Options for Women, we want you to know that we are not only here to help you, but we are on your team. Our staff consist of several Life Coaches that have been in your shoes. One of them is standing by to assist you.

Feeling Pressure?

Coerced abortion is illegal. You are the only one legally allowed to decide which option is right for your unintended pregnancy. No one (parent or partner) can force you into an abortion, even if you are a minor.

Questions and Answers

A: Walk-ins are welcome. However, it is best to make an appointment to minimize your office wait time. Please call 573-213-5115 or text 573-222-0891, or click schedule an appointment online and for information on abortion costs, click here.
A: Absolutely. You can bring your boyfriend, family member, or friend. We will talk with you privately first. Then, provided you have given us consent to have them in the room, your guest will be able to join you.
A: You’ll be welcomed by our receptionist who will introduce you to your coach. She will listen to you and provide you with information followed by a pregnancy test. Should your test be positive, an appointment will be scheduled with one of our nurses to conduct a limited ultrasound to confirm if you have a viable pregnancy and date fetal age.
A: Our tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A client with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.
If you have taken a home pregnancy test, it is best to confirm results with a laboratory-quality test at our center or mobile clinic.
A:  We adhere to a strict privacy and confidentiality policy. Clients will be protected from disclosure of information that violates the right to privacy except when required by law, required for public health reasons, required to avert a threat of harm to the client or a third person, or when other circumstances may reasonably warrant such use or disclosure without prior authorization (e.g., abuse reporting, suicide/homicide prevention, etc.).
A: Our professional, medical-grade lab quality pregnancy test can determine pregnancy on the first day after your first missed period. We recommend you make an appointment if you have missed a period, have any pregnancy related questions, or think you might be pregnant.
A: On-site ultrasounds can be scheduled after an initial intake with one of our coaches. Our limited ultrasound exams are performed by a licensed nurse or RDMS (registered sonographer) and reviewed by a licensed physician. An ultrasound confirms a viable pregnancy. To qualify for a limited ultrasound, you’ll need to be a minimum of 8 weeks since your last menstrual period.
A: You can still meet with a member of our staff to discuss your concerns and review available options. An ultrasound is recommended to know if your pregnancy is viable and in your uterus, since 20% – 30% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. Additionally, the ultrasound will give you an approximate idea how far along you are to determine what type of abortion you would choose. We can provide a limited ultrasound at no cost to you.
