Considering Abortion in McHenry - Johnsburg, IL?
McHenry - Johnsburg
Is your pregnancy viable?
According to the American Pregnancy Association, between 10-25% of known pregnancies are not viable and end naturally in miscarriage – usually within the first 13 weeks. Having a positive pregnancy test does not mean that you have a viable pregnancy that will carry to term. An ultrasound can confirm viability – letting you know if you even have a pregnancy that requires a decision. Focus Women’s Center offers ultrasounds as part of our no-cost Pregnancy Verification and Consultation appointment.
How far along are you?
While you may have an idea of how far along you are (otherwise known as the gestational age) based on the date of your last menstrual period (LMP), it is very common for these dates to be off due to various reasons. An ultrasound is the most accurate way to determine gestational age, which then determines which type of abortion procedure you might qualify for. At Focus Women’s Center, we are able to provide an ultrasound free of cost so that you will know which abortion procedure(s) you are even eligible for and can make a more informed decision.
Do you have an STD/STI?
Untreated sexually transmitted diseases or infections can cause serious complications for those who have abortions by increasing their risk of infection. Anyone considering abortion should be tested and treated for STDs prior to the procedure. Focus Women’s Center offers confidential STD testing for the two most common STDs in McHenry County, chlamydia, and gonorrhea, free of charge.
What are the different types of abortion?
There are several different types of abortion procedures – each with different risks, side effects, and financial costs. That is why it is so important to discuss your options ahead of time with a knowledgeable medical professional so that you can get accurate medical information and make a fully informed decision. At Focus Women’s Center, you will meet one-on-one with a member of our medical team who will go over each of the abortion procedures with you and answer any questions that you may have.
Do I have any other options?
