We will take time to listen and discuss the issues you are facing now and the options ahead of you. In addition, we will offer you ongoing opportunities to meet with a Client Advocate and pursue educational services. You deserve to know the facts and be fully informed. At PSGC, we take time to educate you about each option available so you have the information you need to make your next step.

Am I Pregnant?

If you are sexually active, it is possible to become pregnant. Here are some common signs of pregnancy, but please be aware that there are other medical conditions that can cause these symptoms.

How far along am I?

Ovulation usually occurs in the middle of a 28-day cycle — about 14 days (about 2 weeks) after the first day of a woman’s last period. Many women have more or fewer than 28 days (about 4 weeks) in their cycle or may ovulate at a time different than this 14-day average. If you were sexually active around the time of ovulation, it is possible to become pregnant. While only medical doctors can diagnose pregnancy, we can help estimate how far along you may be. If you have a positive pregnancy test at Pregnancy Services, we can refer you to our providing medical clinic to receive a free ultrasound to determine more about your pregnancy including gestational age.

Free Pregnancy Tests

If you are concerned about being pregnant and want help with the next steps, make an appointment with us for a free pregnancy test. Our pregnancy tests are consistent and accurate at detecting HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin, the hormone released in pregnancy) earlier than most over-the-counter tests. One of our Client Advocates will be happy to assist you in exploring the options available to you if you are pregnant.

Let’s take it one step at a time…

  • Different abortion methods are used at various stages of pregnancy. Pregnancy Services can help you understand what is involved in each abortion procedure, including surgical and nonsurgical options, and the potential risks for each procedure.

  • There are many different types of adoptions today, including open, closed, or semi-open adoptions. Come talk with one of our Advocates, who will provide you with information to help you better understand the adoption process.

  • Many arrangements exist for those who continue their pregnancies. We will walk through what it might look like to be a parent and help you know the resources that are available to you, including financial and community resources. We also offer Signature Parenting, a one-of-a-kind parent education and support service program.
