To figure out if you're pregnant, **start with one of our pregnancy tests**. These tests are over 99% accurate at detecting pregnancy hormones. **We provide free, confidential pregnancy tests, and no insurance is required**. If you qualify, you can also get a limited, non-diagnostic ultrasound during your visit to check how far along your pregnancy is. - When did I conceive? On average, you ovulate — the time when pregnancy can happen — for about two to three days during each menstrual cycle. This usually occurs **around two weeks after your last period started**. You can estimate your ovulation window and conception date by counting from the first day of your last period. However, **an ultrasound can give you a more precise answer**. Since pregnancies progress at a steady rate, an ultrasound can measure the fetus' size to determine how far along you are. We can help answer these questions during your ultrasound appointment. If you need support or have questions right now, you can **text a nurse privately at [(785) 242-4500](sms:+17852424500) anytime—it’s free and confidential.** - Does abortion hurt? The amount of pain someone feels during an abortion can **vary from person to person**. It depends on how their body responds to the procedure and their individual pain tolerance. **Other factors, like the type of abortion and how far along the pregnancy is, can also affect the level of discomfort**. If you have questions or want to talk about what to expect, you can discuss this with a nurse during your appointment or **text a nurse privately at [(785) 242-4500](sms:+17852424500) anytime—it’s free and confidential.** - Are your services really free, and do I need insurance? **Yes, we provide free and confidential services** to help you make informed, practical decisions about your future. No insurance is needed to access our care.
