What to Know If You’re Considering an Abortion?
If you’re thinking about an abortion, having accurate information is key to making a choice that fits your situation. Before moving forward, it’s wise to take a few necessary steps – like verifying your pregnancy, checking its progress, and understanding what an abortion might involve.
Colorado Springs Pregnancy Center is here to assist you with no-cost services and ensure you have the understanding and support you need.
Medical-Grade Pregnancy Testing Is Important
You might have taken an at-home pregnancy test, however, following up with medical-grade pregnancy testing can give you certainty. These highly reliable tests provide a solid starting point for your next steps and are available at no-cost at all Colorado Springs Pregnancy Centers.
Why an Ultrasound Matters
Once your pregnancy is confirmed, the next critical step is an ultrasound. This simple medical imaging process uses sound waves to reveal key details about your pregnancy.
It can show how far along you are (gestational age), whether the pregnancy is viable (progressing), and if it’s located in the uterus or elsewhere (like in the case of an ectopic pregnancy). These insights are vital if you’re weighing abortion as an option.
Colorado Springs Pregnancy Center provides no-cost ultrasounds to equip you with this essential information.
Understanding Abortion Risks
Abortion comes in two primary forms: medical and surgical, each with considerations.
A medical abortion, also known as a chemical abortion, involves taking drugs to end the pregnancy. Potential risks include heavy bleeding, infection, fever, digestive issues, or an incomplete process that might require follow-up surgery.
Surgical abortion involves a procedure using tools and suction to remove the pregnancy. Risks include infection, damage to the cervix or uterus, or scar tissue that might affect future periods or fertility. Understanding these risks will help you make an informed choice.
Additional Support Services
Beyond testing and ultrasounds, the Colorado Springs Pregnancy Center offers no-cost STD testing and treatment, plus a medical screening before an abortion. These services are provided in a confidential, welcoming setting where you can ask questions and explore your options without pressure. Our center is ready to assist you as you seek answers about your pregnancy or health.
Colorado Springs Pregnancy Center does not perform or refer for abortion; therefore, CSPC receives no financial gain from your pregnancy decision.
