Before an abortion, an ultrasound can answer two important questions:

How far along am I?
Gestational age can affect your options and what to expect.

Is the pregnancy progressing?
Not all pregnancies develop normally, making abortion unnecessary in some cases.

If you're seeking a pre-abortion evaluation, please let us know when scheduling your appointment. That will help us personalize the appointment.

The timeline for an abortion decision can depend on how far along you are and the type of abortion you are considering. Many women find it helpful to first confirm important pregnancy details, including how far along they may be.

A pre-abortion evaluation at White Oak Women’s Clinic can help you get clear medical information, ask questions, and understand any time-sensitive factors without pressure to decide that day.

You deserve private, compassionate care as you consider your next step.

Many women feel pressure from a partner, parent, friend, or situation when facing an abortion decision. You deserve space to slow down, ask questions, and make sure your next step is truly your own.

No one should force, threaten, or pressure you into an abortion decision. If something feels wrong, unsafe, or rushed, it matters.

At White Oak Women’s Clinic, you can meet privately with a nurse, talk through what you’re experiencing, and get clear medical information without judgment or pressure.

If you need someone to talk to now, you can call or text White Oak Women’s Clinic at (815) 559-5722.
