Pregnancy Testing and Counseling
At PPECI individuals receive pregnancy test results within minutes. Whether the test results are positive or negative, counseling is available for those seeking assistance.
Pregnancy Options Counseling
Planned Parenthood has been helping women make choices about their bodies and their lives since 1916. At Planned Parenthood we strongly believe that your choice to continue or end your pregnancy is a very personal decision.
Our specially trained medical staff has the knowledge and experience to answer any questions you may have about the results of your pregnancy test. In the case of a negative pregnancy test result, an experienced medical staff person can discuss what steps you should take next depending upon your particular circumstances.
If your pregnancy test result is positive, the staff person can give the information and referrals need to help you make your own decision. The decision to continue or terminate a pregnancy is a very personal choice and the medical staff person will not attempt to influence your decision in any way.
If you are sexually active and do not want to become pregnant, a reliable birth control method is the best way to reduce the risk of an unwanted pregnancy. Our medical staff will be happy to discuss all birth control options with you.
