When should I get an ultrasound?
An ultrasound is essential for confirming your pregnancy. After you meet with one of our nurses and take a lab-quality pregnancy test, we will evaluate your eligibility for an ultrasound. An ultrasound scan determines if your pregnancy is growing with a detectable heartbeat, its location, and how far along you are.
How do I know if I am pregnant?
There are several early symptoms of pregnancy, including the following:
- A late period
- Tender, swollen breasts
- Increased urination
- Fatigue
- Nausea, with or without vomiting
Some women experience all of these symptoms immediately. Other women don’t experience any for weeks or months later. Your experience is as unique as you are.
Begin by taking our Pregnancy Symptoms Quiz. If you think you are pregnant, take a lab-quality pregnancy test. We offer free testing. If you qualify, we can confirm your test result with an ultrasound.
What are the signs of an std?
Many STDs are asymptomatic, meaning they have no signs or symptoms. As a result, people put off getting tested. The following are some signs you may notice if you have an STD:
- Painful urination
- Discharge from the vagina or penis
- Itching or irritation
- Pain during sexual intercourse
Getting tested regularly is essential. Alpha Center offers free testing and treatment up to twice per year.
What Is A Pre-Abortion Screening?
A positive pregnancy test is only an indication of a possible pregnancy. You need more information. Our pre-abortion screening provides free lab-quality pregnancy testing, an ultrasound if applicable, and STD testing to ensure your health and well-being no matter your pregnancy choice.
Does Alpha Center Provide Abortions?
Alpha Center does not provide or refer for abortions, nor are referrals needed to obtain an abortion. Because of this, Alpha Center has no financial interest in your pregnancy decision. We do provide accurate information on all abortion procedures, expected side effects, and potential risks. Get the facts first if you are considering abortion.
Does Alpha Center take insurance?
Everything that Alpha Center provides is completely free, so no insurance is needed. We will need to see your ID at your first appointment to verify your identity.
Do I have to be a Christian to be a patient?
Not at all! In 2024, 62% of our STI patients and 22% of our pregnancy patients reported having no spiritual beliefs.
Alpha Center’s Christian faith means that we value each person that we see no matter their faith or circumstances because we believe that you matter. We believe that your spirituality plays a role in your overall health, so while we will ask about how your beliefs play a role in your life, you do not have to share if that is not something you’re comfortable with.
