What is an ultrasound?
An ultrasound is an imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create a visual image of your pregnancy.
Why you need an ultrasound
You learn three important facts from an ultrasound:
- How far along you are in your pregnancy
- If the pregnancy is viable (up to 20% of all known pregnancies end in a natural miscarriage)
- Where the pregnancy is located (if it’s located outside of your uterus, it’s potentially life-threatening)
How far along you are in your pregnancy
You need to know the number of weeks you’ve been pregnant if you are considering abortion. The type of procedure you receive is determined by how far along you are. If you’re considering adoption or parenting, knowing how far along you are will help determine an approximate due date for future planning.
If the pregnancy is viable
A viable pregnancy means it’s developing normally and continuing to grow. Because a possible 20% of known pregnancies end in a natural miscarriage, an ultrasound lets you know if your pregnancy is viable or not. If you’ve had a miscarriage, there’s no reason to schedule an appointment for an abortion.
Where the pregnancy is located
Although rare, some pregnancies do not form in the uterus. These are known as ectopic pregnancies. They can be very dangerous and require you to visit a health care professional immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Do I need an appointment?
Answer: It is recommended that you make an appointment to minimize wait time.
Question: What is the cost?
Answer: All our services are free and confidential.
Question: How long after sex does it take for a pregnancy test to work?
Answer: Our tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A patient with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.
Question: How accurate is the pregnancy test?
Answer: Our medical grade pregnancy tests have a 99% accuracy rate.
Question: Will you tell anyone about my visit?
Answer: We maintain a rigorous privacy and confidentiality policy. Our clients' information is safeguarded against unauthorized disclosure, respecting their right to privacy, except in instances mandated by law. This includes situations necessary for public health, preventing harm to the client or others, or in specific circumstances where the use or disclosure of information is justified without prior consent, such as in cases of abuse reporting or suicide/homicide prevention.
Question: When should I schedule an appointment?
Answer: Our high-quality, medical-grade pregnancy tests are capable of detecting pregnancy from the first day after your initial missed period. We advise scheduling an appointment if you've missed a period, have any queries related to pregnancy, or suspect that you might be pregnant.
Question: How far along do I have to be to get a free ultrasound?
Answer: After an initial consultation, we offer on-site ultrasound scans. These limited ultrasounds are conducted by a registered nurse or a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS) and are subsequently reviewed by a licensed physician. The purpose of an ultrasound is to confirm the viability of the pregnancy and to establish the gestational age.
Question: I already know I'm pregnant and I want an abortion, what's next?
Answer: It is advisable to have an ultrasound to confirm the viability of your pregnancy and to ensure it is located within the uterus, as 20% to 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Moreover, the ultrasound helps in determining the stage of your pregnancy, which is essential in making an informed decision about the type of abortion procedure you may consider. We offer a limited ultrasound free of charge.
