A positive pregnancy test (including a home test) is an indication of pregnancy, but not a confirmation. An ultrasound can confirm your pregnancy and it can indicate how far along you are by using measurements to estimate the gestational age of the fetus.
We offer limited ultrasounds to anyone who had a positive pregnancy test at our center. Our medical personnel will determine if you are eligible for a limited ultrasound after you have had a positive pregnancy test at our clinic.

What Does an Obstetric Ultrasound Do?
At our center, in most cases, we can determine:
if the pregnancy is viable.
how far along you are.
if a heartbeat is detected.
if there is a potentially life-threatening tubal pregnancy.
if your pregnancy is developing under normal conditions.
whether or not you are carrying a single fetus or multiples.
If you are considering an abortion, an ultrasound should be performed to determine how far along you are and can also determine the cost of the abortion and if you qualify for the abortion pill. (Note: We do not refer or provide abortion services or the abortion pill.)
If you are considering making an adoption plan or desiring to parent your child, an ultrasound may not be required by your doctor but it can be a crucial part of your prenatal plan.
What Can I Expect?
At your first appointment, we will provide a free pregnancy test at our center. Depending on your last menstrual period (LMP) and our availability, we will either perform an ultrasound during your appointment or schedule one for a future date.
Our medical staff performs abdominal ultrasounds on all patients first, regardless of what trimester they're in, and will only move on to a transvaginal ultrasound if the patient consents and they weren't able to get all the information they needed on the abdominal scan. Patients need a full bladder for the abdominal ultrasound but if they're moving on to the transvaginal ultrasound, they will need to empty their bladders to get the best picture.
You can also talk about your medical history, pregnancy concerns, or ask questions about the abortion pill or the various types of surgical abortions.
