Medical Verification of Pregnancy

What is a medical verification of pregnancy?

The first step in making the decision on how to handle an unexpected pregnancy is to get personalized accurate medical information and verification about your pregnancy. There are many tele-health options and countless amounts of information you can gather online, but nothing can replace a personalized in person medical verification of pregnancy.

Why do I need medical verification of pregnancy before taking the abortion pill?

The risks associated with taking the abortion pill with an ectopic pregnancy, or beyond the recommended gestation age can be devastating, even life threatening.

What if I am confident about my gestation age?

You can never be too safe when it comes to your health.  Did you know a “false period”, also known as Implantation bleeding, is a common reason many women find they are farther along than they realized? Your body may be like clock work, but if you are like most women, irregular periods are common. Stress, medications, birth control, diet, and many other factors can lead to irregular periods. Some women also experience what may feel like a light period, but is actually implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding is common and occurs at the time of a normal period.  As noted by the mayo clinic. “Implantation bleeding is thought to happen when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus. Implantation bleeding usually occurs around the time you would expect to have a menstrual period. However, implantation bleeding is lighter than menstrual bleeding.”  If your last period was light, you may be assuming this missed period equals 4 – 5 weeks pregnant, you could be off by nearly 4 – 5 weeks and actually be closer to 10 weeks. The risks associated with self diagnosing and not having medical verification of gestation age when taking the abortion pill, can be devastating.  Irregular period, implantation bleeding make it common for women to make a wrong estimation of their gestational age.

What is an ectopic pregnancy? Why could that be a problem?

An ectopic pregnancy, according to the Cleveland Clinic, “An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that happens outside of the uterus. This happens when a fertilized egg implants in a structure that can’t support its growth. An ectopic pregnancy often happens in the fallopian tube (a pair of structures that connect the ovaries and uterus). The abortion pill is not prescribed to be effective for an ectopic pregnancy. Because an ectopic pregnancy can be life threatening, you should seek medical verification of the pregnancy, expected or unexpected, as soon as you suspect you may be pregnant.

Is Your Pregnancy Viable?
Nearly 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Eighty percent of these occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. If you have a positive pregnancy test an ultrasound can help to confirm if the pregnancy is viable. Why put your body through an abortion procedure if the pregnancy isn’t viable? 

Why is a medical pregnancy verification important?
