If you think you might be pregnant and are considering abortion, taking time to gather accurate medical information is one of the most important steps you can take for your health and well-being. At Corbella Clinic, we believe you deserve clear answers, compassionate care, and the time to make an informed decision without pressure.
A pre-abortion screening appointment is designed to give you essential information about your pregnancy and your body before you move forward. Whether you are certain about your decision or still exploring your options, this step helps ensure your safety and confidence.
Why a Pre-Abortion Screening Matters
Abortion is a medical decision and like any medical procedure, it comes with risks and important health considerations. Before moving forward, it’s critical to understand your unique situation.
A pre-abortion screening provides answers on key questions, including:
- Are you actually pregnant?
- How far along are you?
- Is the pregnancy viable (living pregnancy)?
- Is the pregnancy in the uterus (and not ectopic)?
- What options are available?
At Corbella Clinic, our licensed medical professionals are committed to equipping you with the information you need to make a fully informed decision. Understanding these details first can help reduce potential risks and ensure you receive appropriate care.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your pre-abortion screening appointment is confidential, professional, and tailored to your needs. Making an appointment with Corbella Clinic today is free. No insurance required.
Your visit may include:
1. Lab-Quality Pregnancy Testing
A medical-grade pregnancy test is the first step in confirming your pregnancy. While at-home tests are helpful, a clinical test provides reliable confirmation.
2. Ultrasound Exam
An ultrasound is an important step in your decision making process. It answers three critical questions:
- Is the pregnancy located in the uterus?
- Is the pregnancy viable (living)?
- How far along are you?
These details directly impact the abortion options available to you. For example, an ectopic pregnancy (one located outside the uterus) cannot be treated with abortion procedures and can become life-threatening if undiagnosed. Only an ultrasound can confirm the location of the pregnancy.
3. STD/STI Testing
You can be pregnant and have an STI at the same time. Untreated infections can increase the risk of complications, especially if you undergo a procedure.Testing protects your reproductive health and helps ensure any necessary treatment is addressed early.
4. Options Consultation & Education
You’ll have the opportunity to speak with a trained medical professional about your options, ask questions, and process your thoughts in a supportive environment.
This appointment is about giving you clarity—not rushing your decision. More than a consultation, we’re offering support as you take the important first steps in your decision.
Potential Risks
Every pregnancy is different, which is why medical confirmation is so important. If you are considering abortion, it’s important to understand potential risks and how your individual health may affect them. Without this information, you may not have a complete picture of your health or your options.
For example, if an STI is present and untreated, it can increase the risk of infection during or after an abortion procedure. That’s why screening beforehand is strongly recommended. Understanding these risks allows you to make a decision that prioritizes your health and safety.
