How soon can I find out if I’m pregnant?

If you are pregnant, your body will produce a special pregnancy hormone known as hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin). This hormone appears in the urine as early as the first day of a missed menstrual cycle. A positive result indicates that your urine contains hCG, and a negative result indicates that no hCG has been detected.

Do you provide a blood test or a urine pregnancy test?

We provide a self-administered urine pregnancy test at the time of your appointment. The pregnancy tests that we use report a 99% accuracy rating. With a positive test result, you will receive proof of a positive pregnancy document.

We usually receive results from the lab within a week. This can vary depending on what is being tested.

What about supplies for my baby?

Yes, we provide all of our clients and community members with a gift bag filled with blankets, diapers, clothes, toys and gifts for mom.

I’m considering adoption. Can you help me with that?

During your pregnancy options consultation, we can work through our Adoption Decision Guide with you and refer you to a licensed local agency who will design an individualized adoption plan with you.

I’m considering an abortion. Can I get an abortion at Alternatives?

We do not refer or provide abortion services. We provide you with accurate medical education and compassionate care as you are faced with making a life-altering decision. We will walk alongside you with support and resources regardless of what you choose.
