What to Expect at an Abortion Consultation
Your appointment is designed to be straightforward, confidential, and focused on medical clarity.
During your visit, you can expect:

- Time to ask questions about your results
You are not required to make any decisions during your appointment. Many women come simply to get accurate information before taking their next step.
Lab-Quality Pregnancy Testing & Limited Ultrasounds
Verify and Date Your Pregnancy
Even if you have taken a pregnancy test at home, many women choose to confirm their pregnancy with a lab-quality test administered by a medical professional.
- Our Registered Nurses provide free pregnancy testing that takes just minutes and offers the peace of mind you need.
- A positive on a pregnancy test is just the first step. A urine pregnancy test detects whether or not the pregnancy hormone (hCG) is present.
- Confirming the location and dating of a pregnancy with ultrasound can provide important medical insight before taking next steps. Without this information, it can be difficult to know which options are medically appropriate.
- In addition, an ultrasound will reveal the gestational age, which determines the kind of abortion procedure available to you in the state of Ohio.
Our no-cost pregnancy testing and limited ultrasound services will give you the answers you need to take your next steps.
Why Medical Confirmation Matters Before an Abortion
Before an abortion, many women want to be sure of three things:
- That the pregnancy is developing in the uterus
- How far along the pregnancy is
- What options are medically appropriate at that stage

Getting Tested for an STD
Protect Your Future Reproductive Health
Protecting your future reproductive health is an important part of abortion pre-testing. Undetected STDs can increase the risk of complications, regardless of what you choose for your pregnancy. It will put you at a greater risk of contracting Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), which can cause infertility and chronic pelvic pain. As part of our pregnancy care services, we provide limited STD testing and treatment at no-cost to you. Ivy is committed to serving our patients today while protecting their tomorrow.

Abortion Consultation FAQs
Do I need to confirm my pregnancy with an ultrasound before getting an abortion?
Many women choose to confirm their pregnancy with a medical-grade test and ultrasound before moving forward. While a home pregnancy test can detect pregnancy hormones, an ultrasound can provide additional medical information, including how far along the pregnancy is and where it is located. Having this information can help you better understand what options may be available to you.
Is an abortion consultation confidential?
Yes. Appointments at Ivy Women’s Center are private and confidential. You will meet with a licensed medical team member who can review your pregnancy test results, answer your questions, and provide clear medical information in a supportive environment.
Do I have to make a decision about abortion during my appointment?
No. Your appointment is designed to provide information, not pressure you into a decision. Many women visit us to confirm their pregnancy, receive medical information, and take time to consider their next steps.
