Frequently asked questions.
How do I know if I am Pregnant? What are the symptoms?
Pregnancy symptoms are different for every woman, and some don't experience any symptoms at all. The most common sign of pregnancy is a missed period. Other common symptoms include:
- Nausea/Vomiting
- Fatigue
- Tender swollen breasts
- Spotting
- Cramping
- Mood swings
- Food aversions
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, there is a possibility you are pregnant. However, a good way to know is to take a pregnancy test, which we offer for free.
If I bought a test at the store do I need to come in for a test?
Our lab quality pregnancy tests are the same ones you'd find in a doctor's office or hospital. Home pregnancy tests are usually very accurate but not always, so it's best to come in for a pregnancy test to get the most accurate reading.
Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?
Yes! Feel free to bring a friend along. For privacy, we will meet with you alone to share your pregnancy test results, but your friend can join you any time after that when you are ready.
Can I get birth control at Options?
We do not provide birth control, but do encourage you to speak to your doctor about any contraceptive needs you may have.
What if I've already had an abortion?
Some women don't have anyone to talk to about their abortion. We offer a group you can join where you will have a chance to process what you're experiencing and feel supported.
Can I come in for an ultrasound to find out the sex of my baby?
We only offer ultrasound services after you've had a positive pregnancy test to determine the viability of the pregnancy and how far along you are in your pregnancy.
Can I just walk in or do I need an appointment?
We accept both walk-ins and appointments. If you prefer to have an appointment, click on "set an appointment" below.
What if I don't have insurance?
All our services are free and confidential, so you don't need to have insurance.
Will my medical information be kept private?
Yes! Options Pregnancy Center is committed to keeping your personal information private and is compliant with all state and federal privacy laws.
