Some early pregnancies don’t continue on their own. Knowing this can affect what (if anything) you need to do next.
Most people significantly under- or over-estimate this. Knowing the exact week matters — it affects every option in front of you.
A pregnancy outside the uterus is called an ectopic pregnancy. It can be dangerous if left untreated, and no abortion (pill or procedure) can end an ectopic pregnancy — it requires different medical care.
No pressure. No cost. No insurance.
About 1 in 4 early pregnancies end naturally.
An ultrasound prevents you from making decisions or paying for services you might not need.
Gestational age determines: whether the abortion pill will work – legal limits – medical risks
An ectopic pregnancy is a medical emergency — and only an ultrasound can detect it.
You deserve accurate information before choosing what to do next.
A limited ultrasound focuses on three things: confirming the pregnancy, locating it (in the uterus or elsewhere), and estimating gestational age and viability. It doesn’t diagnose other medical conditions — for those, your OB or family doctor will do a comprehensive ultrasound later in your care.
A calm, private exam room.
A trained medical staff member performs the ultrasound under the direction of a North Carolina–licensed physician.
You’ll see the screen and talk through the results.
You’ll have time to ask any questions — about the results, your options, or anything else.
Every service is free, confidential, and offered with no pressure and no agenda.
NC law requires an ultrasound at the abortion facility before any abortion procedure. Our free ultrasound doesn’t replace that one — but it gives you the education you need before you book elsewhere, and at no cost to you. Many people find that clarity changes their next step in one direction or another. Whatever yours is, you’ll be making it from a place of knowing, not guessing.
