There are a lot of possibilities–maybe it’s stress, maybe it’s a new medication, or maybe you haven’t kept track of your period as well as you thought. Truth is, you’d be fine with any of those reasons. But then there’s another one. Even without taking a pregnancy test, you keep coming back to the same question: What if I missed my period because I’m pregnant?
And you don’t want to be pregnant. I mean, you know you don’t want to be pregnant.
You have your reasons: bad timing, a bad relationship, bad circumstances. Or maybe all your circumstances are good, yet your response is the same: you just don’t want to be pregnant.
We’ve heard all the reasons. We’re women, too. We know the weight of an unplanned pregnancy. We know the fear and the urgency to just make things right again.
You may feel stuck. But you are not. You have options. You have several choices for your next step.
You could just wait and hope your period will come back on its own. It could, if you’re not pregnant.
Or you could rush off and get an abortion. But you could be wasting your money and risking your health without actually knowing what’s going on inside your body. You may not even have a viable pregnancy or you could have a dangerous pregnancy that may require a different type of medical intervention.
You could get a store-bought pregnancy test. You’ll get an answer. But not enough of an answer to make a final decision. But you say, “I missed my period and I got a positive pregnancy test!” I hear you.
But now hear me. Every year women come to us thinking they are pregnant for these same reasons, only to find they’ve misread their pregnancy test or the test was inaccurate. It’s rare, but it does happen.
We get it, you’ve got to do something, right? I mean, you can’t just keep ignoring the fact that you’ve missed your period. A missed period eventually calls for a plan.
So how do you make a plan?
If you don’t want to be pregnant, a missed period doesn’t mean you should schedule an abortion or start looking up adoption agencies and maternity homes.
You have these choices–and you will continue to have them, but first you need one thing: more information.
Getting information may feel like you’re doing nothing. But that’s not true.
You can get more information and actually do something with one contact to Alcove Health Women’s Clinic in Newport News. The latest delivery of abortion medications may make abortion seem simple. A quick telehealth consult and a drive to your local pharmacy and presto – your problem is over.
But.
Danco, the U.S. manufacturer of the first of the two pills used to perform a medical abortion, requires that their medication be provided under the supervision of a certified prescriber who meets several qualifications, including these two:
You can’t get that information from a store-bought pregnancy test. You can’t get accurate information from just a telehealth consult, either.
This is where we come in. Here at Alcove Health, we hear you and we want to help. We can help you accurately determine the age of your pregnancy and make sure your pregnancy is in the uterus (intrauterine). It’s simple–with an ultrasound. A free one at that, administered by RNs with specialized training in early pregnancy sonography.
With services like a lab-grade pregnancy test and an ultrasound, you can make an appointment to get the information you need first to see if you are even a candidate for an abortion. And here at Alcove Health, all of our services are free and confidential. There’s not another clinic here on the Virginia Peninsula that provides these services completely free.
Your health is priceless and your money is valuable. Don’t be reckless with either. Call or click here today to request your confidential medical appointment.
