Free Pregnancy Testing and Ultrasounds

If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, it can feel like your whole world has changed overnight. Often, this transition looks different than what you expected. Many women immediately want to find out for sure if they are pregnant, either by getting a positive result from a home test or just missing their period. Visiting Crossroads Resource Center in Moses Lake will allow you to receive free pregnancy testing and get the reassurance you need without the worry of medical costs.

Confirmation of Results

A late or missed period is the first sign of pregnancy, but it isn't a definitive diagnosis on its own. Lab-quality pregnancy tests performed in our clinic accurately detect the presence of the hCG pregnancy hormone over 99% of the time. In fact, hCG may be present in the urine approximately seven days after conception. You do not need to have health insurance or obtain a referral before visiting our clinic. Results are provided during your first appointment, so you're not waiting around for a call indicating that your lab results are available.

More than a Line

A positive pregnancy test does show that hCG is present, but it does not fully describe your reproductive health. If your first pregnancy test done at our clinic is positive, you will also receive a follow-up medical history intake and an ultrasound. This next step is vital because a pregnancy test alone cannot confirm if a pregnancy is viable or where it is located. Some women experience a positive test but then go on to have a natural pregnancy loss shortly after. Medical research indicates that roughly 10% to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage.

The role of a limited OB ultrasound

If you are considering any pregnancy option, including abortion, you need an ultrasound first. This study will provide necessary information regarding the pregnancy; specifically, viability of the fetus, gestational age of the pregnancy, and location. Viability refers to whether there is a detectable fetal heartbeat. Determining the gestational age of the pregnancy is important to establish what medical options may be available based on how far along you are. We provide free ultrasound in Moses Lake, WA so you can make an informed decision regarding your options.

The second reason for a limited OB ultrasound is to determine where the embryo has implanted. In rare cases, a fertilized egg may implant outside the uterus, which is known as an ectopic pregnancy. This condition occurs in about 2% of all pregnancies and, if undetected early enough, can be life-threatening. A limited OB ultrasound allows our team to screen for ectopic pregnancy and provide a timely referral if necessary. Our medical team is committed to assisting you in understanding these elements within a safe environment. If you are experiencing stress due to the distance from other healthcare providers and you reside in Grant County, Washington, we will help you through this difficult time.

Resources and Support

Once your pregnancy has been verified with both a pregnancy test and an ultrasound, it is normal for you to have questions about what to do next. At our center, we provide options education regarding parenting, adoption, and abortion. We want to make sure you have the facts about the associated risks and benefits of each choice, as well as the resources in central Washington that may be available to you. Also, we offer STI screening for gonorrhea and chlamydia. We want to ensure the health of you and your pregnancy, because these two STIs are the most frequently seen in our area and can lead to complications with a pregnancy or medical procedure if they aren't treated quickly.

We take great care to protect the confidentiality of our clients, especially if you're a student at Big Bend Community College or any of the local high schools, and may be concerned about privacy. We accept appointments from middle school through college-age students with flexible scheduling to accommodate school hours. You do not need parental consent to access our services, and we do not contact your parents regarding your visit. Every appointment at our free pregnancy center in central Washington is confidential and conducted in a professional medical setting.

Experiencing an unplanned pregnancy can be a life-altering experience, but you do not need to find the answers alone. We are here to provide you with the medical services and information necessary to move forward with confidence.
