At first, it might feel like a fairytale – the sweet texts, constant compliments, and intense declarations like “I’ve never felt this way before” or “You’re the only one for me.” It can feel really intense and exciting – especially if you’ve been feeling lonely or trying to heal from past relationships or other hurts.

At Alcove Health Women’s Clinic, we understand how relationships like these can leave women vulnerable and confused – often facing unplanned pregnancies or other concerns.
That’s why we offer free pregnancy testing, limited ultrasounds, and STI testing in a safe, confidential space. We believe you deserve all the information available so you can make informed decisions with support and clarity.
