Discovering your birth control failed and that you may be pregnant is a lot to take in. It wasn’t part of the plan, and it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed, confused, or unsure of your next step. The most important thing right now is to get accurate medical information so you can move forward.
Ridgeway Women’s Clinic offers free, confidential services to help you do exactly that. Schedule your appointment today.
Start With a Pregnancy Test
Before anything else, getting an initial result with a medical-grade test is the right first step. At Ridgeway Women’s Clinic, a nurse conducts a medical assessment and administers your pregnancy test in a confidential clinical setting.
A result you can trust gives you a solid foundation before making any decisions.
A Same-Day Ultrasound May Be Available
If your pregnancy test comes back positive, you may be able to receive a same-day ultrasound to check for viability. This scan can indicate whether the pregnancy is developing and detect cardiac activity.
While our patient care team cannot diagnose conditions such as an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, the ultrasound provides meaningful early information. It helps determine whether follow-up care with another provider may be needed.
Knowing this information early matters. Having a clearer picture of where things stand helps you and your care team take the right next steps.
Understand Your Options
Once your Pregnancy Confirmation appointment is complete, our patient care team is here to walk through all of your options with you.
Parenting, adoption, and abortion each involve different considerations, and you deserve accurate, honest information about all three before making any decision. There’s no pressure here, only support.
