Did your heart drop as you saw the positive test result? Maybe you feel abortion is the only option you have right now, or maybe it seems like the most convenient. Here is what to know if you’re considering abortion, including the important details to know about abortion, your pregnancy, and what’s next.
You are not alone as you navigate your pregnancy. At Birthright of Greater Hartford, we are here to talk with you about your pregnancy options as you seek clarity.
Know the Risks of Abortion
There are two main types of abortion: medical abortion and surgical abortion. The FDA only recommends medical abortion for women through 10 weeks of pregnancy.
The risks and complications of abortion vary based on the type of abortion procedure you go about.
Know Where Your Pregnancy Stands
In order to know what abortion options you have and to safeguard your health, confirming your pregnancy details is necessary. You will want to go about both pregnancy testing and an ultrasound to get the most information before an abortion.
1. Medical-Grade Pregnancy Testing
Start confirming your pregnancy details with a medical-grade pregnancy test at our center at no cost to you. We can help you understand your results right away.
2. An Ultrasound
A positive pregnancy test result cannot give you all the pregnancy answers you need to make a pregnancy decision. Be sure to go about an ultrasound with a medical professional once you’ve confirmed with a medical-grade pregnancy test.
An ultrasound confirms how far along you are and can alert you to potential complications. It’s vital to determine if you’re eligible for abortion.
