CHOICES provides compassionate and comprehensive prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care as well as abortion services.
CHOICES provides high-quality reproductive health care to women and teens at low or no cost. Our pregnancy-related services help individuals and families to plan for their desired family size and spacing of children or to prevent an undesired pregnancy.
A Pregnancy test works by checking your urine (pee) for a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). If you’re pregnant, your body makes the HCG hormone. If your pregnancy test results are positive, it means you’re pregnant. At CHOICES, you can get a free urine pregnancy test by appointment or walk-in. Free pregnancy tests are completely confidential for patients of all ages. Sometimes a person begins to suspect she is pregnant when she missed a period, notices her body beginning to change in different ways, or develops other physical symptoms. After you receive your pregnancy test results at CHOICES, you can meet with a counselor for pregnancy options counseling or birth control options counseling if your pregnancy test results are negative.

Being unable to get pregnant when you want to can be extremely frustrating and emotionally draining. At CHOICES, we are here to help figure out why you and your partner have not been able to get pregnant. If you are 35 or younger, it is recommended that you make an appointment for an infertility consultation if you are off birth control and have been having sexual intercourse for one year and still haven’t gotten pregnant. If you are over 35, you should make an appointment after 6 months of having sexual intercourse off of birth control. If you are 40 you should make an appointment as soon as possible.
If you have experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth, CHOICES offers Natera ANORA genetic testing to help find genetic conditions that may have caused these outcomes. If the test results show that you or your partner are positive for genetic conditions that resulted in the miscarriage or stillbirth, a referral will be made to a genetic specialist to develop a plan going forward.
Being unable to get pregnant when you want to can be extremely frustrating and emotionally draining. CHOICES offers women a variety of comprehensive gynecological care and fertility treatments. If you’ve been trying to get pregnant and haven’t been successful, it’s a good idea to schedule an appointment at CHOICES, for a fertility assessment.
Our Fertility Management Program offers Fertility assessment, management and treatment of infertility including miscarriage testing (add link to that section). If needed, CHOICES can refer you to a trusted Fertility Specialist for further treatment, including In-Vitro Fertilization, also known as IVF.
Miscarriage Testing (Anora by Natera) is available at CHOICES to help determine why a miscarriage occurred. Testing is performed on the tissue from the pregnancy loss. The results obtained from testing can reduce a patient’s emotional burden and information from the results can improve the chances of a future successful pregnancy. If the cause of the loss is determined to be due to a chromosome abnormality in the fetus, parents can usually be reassured that the chance of recurrence is low and avoid a costly medical work-up.
Miscarriage Testing can be helpful if you:
Why choose Anora?
Sometimes getting pregnant can have serious consequences; the mother’s age, lifestyle issues, domestic violence, substance abuse, health problems, lack of resources or no support may make it impossible to keep a baby. One of the most important and valuable aspects of the CHOICES Prenatal Program is its ability to inform and educate pregnant women on all the options available to her. Adoption isn’t easy, and the decision to put a baby up for adoption is not a simple one. CHOICES' counselors will help you understand the lifelong consequences of this decision and assist you in taking the next steps.
If a woman is interested in adoption, CHOICES' counselors will coordinate a referral to one of our trusted adoption agencies that will provide information on the adoption process and post-adoption services available for open or closed adoptions.
Abortion is another alternative that is offered to pregnant women who want or need to end an unwanted pregnancy. Choices Women’s Medical Center has been providing abortion services with respect, honesty and a high level of professional care for the past 50 years. CHOICES offers medical (the “abortion pill,” available up to 11 weeks of pregnancy) and surgical abortions (up to 24 weeks of pregnancy). No matter your personal circumstance, your income or your age, CHOICES is here to help with an experienced, dedicated medical and counseling team, a state-of-the-art facility and the highest quality healthcare practices to keep you safe.

Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a brief, safe surgical procedure to open the cervix and empty the contents of the uterus, usually using suction (vacuum aspiration). It is the most common method for treating early miscarriage as well as the preferred method of abortion up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
In a private counseling session, each patient has the opportunity to discuss her decision to have an abortion. In this safe, confidential space, the patient can have an honest dialogue about this very important decision that she has been empowered to make for herself.
You may experience a wide range of feelings after your abortion. Most women ultimately feel relief after an abortion, however, some women may feel anger, regret, guilt and/or sadness. Serious, long-term emotional problems after abortion are about as uncommon as they are after giving birth. You may be more likely to have emotional problems after the abortion for certain reasons. Some of these reasons are:
If you are in your childbearing years and your monthly period is a week or more late, you might be pregnant. However, a missed period can be misleading if you have an irregular menstrual cycle.
Other common early signs can include:
Other, less-common signs include moodiness, bloating, light spotting, cramps, constipation, food dislikes, or nasal congestion. These signs, however, can indicate other things besides pregnancy. And you can be pregnant without experiencing them. It’s important to get a pregnancy test as soon as you suspect you might be pregnant.
