The only way to know for sure if you’re pregnant is to take a pregnancy test and have an ultrasound performed. A pregnancy test detects the hormone hCG and an ultrasound will confirm if you have a living intrauterine pregnancy. We can provide you with a free and confidential pregnancy test and ultrasound at our center.
My Life Clinic asks you to be 28-31 days from your last period before you come in for a pregnancy test. While it can be possible to receive accurate results before missing a menstrual cycle, pregnancy tests are most accurate after missing a month’s menstrual cycle. Typically it takes about that amount of time for this hormone to show up.

Once you have a verified pregnancy, you have three options to consider: parenting, adoption and abortion.

We want to provide a safe place for you to make the healthiest decision possible.
