Find the Information You Need

It’s normal to have questions when you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy or exploring your options. At Women’s Hope Medical Clinic, we want you to feel confident and cared for at every step. This FAQ brings together the questions we hear most often about appointments, services, privacy, options, and support for both women and men. You can browse all questions or filter by category to find the information that matters most to you.

If you don’t see your question here, our team is always happy to help during a private appointment or phone call.

What happens at my first appointment?
This will include a urine pregnancy test to confirm pregnancy, a conversation about scheduling an ultrasound, and a time to ask our medical staff any questions.
How long does an appointment usually take?
Most appointments take about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the services you need and the questions you have. We allow plenty of time so you never feel rushed.
Do I need an appointment, or do you accept walk-ins?
Walk-ins are welcome when space is available, but appointments are recommended so we can reserve time just for you. Calling ahead helps us make sure you are seen promptly.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. You are welcome to bring a partner, trusted friend, or family member. Many patients feel more comfortable with support during their visit.
Will I talk with a medical professional?
Yes. A nurse or trained medical team member will meet with you, review your results, answer questions, and help you understand your next steps.
How accurate are your pregnancy tests?
Our medical-grade pregnancy tests are highly accurate and can detect pregnancy early. A nurse or trained medical professional will review your results with you and explain what they mean.
When can I get an ultrasound?
Ultrasounds are offered when medically appropriate to confirm pregnancy and estimate how far along you may be. The timing depends on your test results and health history.
Why is an ultrasound important before making a decision?
Each pregnancy option depends on gestational age and your overall health. An ultrasound provides important medical information so you can make a fully informed decision.
Do you offer STI testing?
Yes. STI testing is available and can be an important part of caring for your reproductive health. A team member will explain what tests are available and what to expect. We only offer STI tests for women with a positive pregnancy test.
What are my options if I’m pregnant?
You have three main pregnancy options: parenting, adoption, and abortion. You can learn about each one during your visit so you can make the decision that feels right for your situation.
Can I get information about abortion?
Yes. We provide medically accurate information about abortion and help you understand what factors—such as gestational age—may affect your options. This gives you clarity as you decide your next steps, however, we don't perform abortions or refer for abortions.
What if I’m unsure about what to do next?
Many women feel uncertain. You are welcome to talk openly with a member of our team, ask questions, and take your time considering your options in a safe, pressure-free environment.
Do you charge for your services?
No. All services, including pregnancy testing and ultrasound, are offered at no cost. This helps ensure your visit remains fully private.
Will anyone find out I came to Women’s Hope?
Your visit is confidential. We do not send bills or notifications, and we protect your information carefully. Only staff directly involved in your care have access to your records.
Do you file insurance or send information to my home?
No. We do not file insurance or send paperwork to your home. This helps keep your appointment private.
I’m a partner. How can I support her?
Support begins with being present and listening. Ask how she is feeling, avoid pressure, and offer to attend appointments with her. Our staff can help both of you understand what to expect and what options you have.
Can men talk with someone, too?
Yes. Male advocates are available to talk with partners who have questions or concerns. You can receive support privately, just like she can.
Do you offer support after an abortion?
Yes. If you are experiencing sadness, mixed feelings, or confusion after an abortion, you can meet with a trained staff member who will listen and help you process your emotions in a confidential setting.
Is it normal to have mixed feelings after an abortion?
Yes. Many women experience a range of emotions—relief, sadness, numbness, or questions about what comes next. These feelings are valid, and talking with someone can often help bring clarity and peace.
