Comprehensive Guide to Pregnancy Confirmation and Abortion Options

If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, we know this is a difficult time. You deserve the truth, and we provide the answers for better health. Even if you have taken a home pregnancy test, be confident with the results by getting a second opinion with a high-sensitivity test from us. Let our team accurately administer one of our lab-quality pregnancy tests so you get the correct answer you need.

Pregnancy Testing and Ultrasounds

After a positive pregnancy test result, your next step is a free ultrasound. An ultrasound exam can confirm viability and determine how far along you are in your pregnancy. You need to know both if you are choosing abortion. It's possible to get a false positive on your pregnancy test, so confirm your pregnancy with an ultrasound.

You may not need an abortion because approximately 1 in 4 pregnancies end naturally because of miscarriage. Ultrasound exists to alert you to a miscarriage or a dangerous ectopic pregnancy. Both require a visit to a healthcare provider, not an abortion provider. Contact us to schedule your free pre-abortion screening.

Abortion Procedures

There are two types of abortion procedures. How far along you are in your pregnancy determines the type you receive. Below is the key information regarding these methods:

Medical Abortion (The Abortion Pill)

Medical Abortion, also known as the abortion pill, is available for pregnancies up to 10 weeks after your last menstrual period. This is an abortion performed with medication. Our medical staff will guide you through this process and give you all the necessary information and support to make the procedure safe and effective for you.

Surgical Abortion

Surgical abortion is a procedure whereby an interference with pregnancy is made via the opening of the cervix. Surgical abortion procedures are available up to 24 weeks from the start of the last menstrual period, as determined by the ultrasound. The procedure is done with a lot of care by our team of skilled physicians, following all safety measures.

Legal Rights and Patient Care

The abortion issue has been settled in Nevada law for decades, primarily because voters in 1990 approved the Freedom of Choice Act. That law upheld a woman’s right to have an abortion in Nevada even if the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision is overturned. Birth Control Care Center is the oldest and most trusted abortion clinic in Las Vegas, Nevada, providing abortion services since January 1973.
