The best time to have an ultrasound performed is after you’ve had positive pregnancy test results. We offer referrals to no-cost limited OB ultrasounds that can tell you some important information about your pregnancy. This information is vital as you begin to consider your options.
While the best way to determine whether you’re pregnant is to take a pregnancy test after you’ve missed your period, there are a few common signs and symptoms that are often associated with early pregnancy. Some of these symptoms include:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, especially a missed period, you owe it to yourself to take a pregnancy test. We offer no-cost pregnancy tests at our center.
If you have a positive pregnancy test you may be wondering what’s next. Now is the time to think about the outcome of your pregnancy. If you are unsure of what to do or what you want the outcome to be, we are here for you. Our staff can talk to you about each of your options – adoption, abortion, and parenting. We will give you accurate, up-to-date information on each option and discuss how each would work in your unique situation. This decision is yours alone to make, so it’s important that you take the time to educate yourself and make a decision that is both confident and informed.
At Metro Women’s Center, we care about your well-being. That is why all of our services are offered at no cost to you. You do not need to bring any form of payment or proof of insurance to your appointment. No insurance is necessary to receive care at our center!
We care about your privacy, which is why your appointment with us is completely confidential. Our staff understands that you have the right to tell people about your pregnancy on your time.
Purchasing any type of medication or supplements online is risky, but purchasing the abortion pill online is especially so. It’s important that if you are considering abortion, you learn about your options and how your life would be affected, short-term and long-term.
Please visit https://www.health.state.mn.us/people/wrtk/wrtkhandbookeng.pdf for more information. On page 12-13 you will find information about the abortion pill, who should not take it, and possible risks. We encourage you to come into our office to get a no-cost pregnancy test and to discuss your situation before you decide what to do.
If you are under the age of 18, you do not have to tell your parents about your appointment or bring them with you. Because the services we provide are at no cost to you and no insurance is needed, you are free to come by yourself. We encourage you to come in for a visit and to discuss your situation with our staff. Usually, parents want to know what is happening with their teens and we encourage you to talk with them about your concerns. We are here to help!
While we provide information and resources on abortion procedures, costs, risks and side effects, we do not perform or refer for abortions. We do, however, serve as a safe place for you to discuss abortion and your other pregnancy options. Abortion, like all potential outcomes for your unplanned pregnancy, is a big decision and should not be made lightly. We do not profit from any decision made. We are simply here to listen to you, educate you and support you.
Unfortunately, many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have no signs or symptoms, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pass them to your partner. If left untreated, many STDs can lead to infertility, organ damage, and worse. No method, including condoms, is completely foolproof. We will give you referrals for both STD testing and treatment. Don’t wait!
