Do I need to have a missed period before my appointment?
Yes. Before you come in for a free pregnancy test, we ask that you be 28-31 days from the first day of your last menstrual period. This will help ensure that your pregnancy test result is accurate. It usually takes the time of a missed period for this hormone to show up.
Will my visit be confidential?
100% yes. Parkville Women’s Clinic has an extremely strict confidentiality policy. We will not tell anyone about your visit with us, unless you tell us it is okay to do so. When you walk into our clinic, you can be assured that we will do everything we can to protect and respect your privacy. We will hold in confidence all the information that you provide except when required by law to report such instances: if you are homicidal, suicidal, under age and being abused, or abusing someone else.
What do I need to bring to my appointment?
Please bring a photo ID with you to your appointment.
Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?
Absolutely! You are welcome to bring a support person, partner, or friend to the appointment if that is what would make you feel more comfortable.
Is there a cost?
There is no cost for any of our services. You and your needs are our number one priority!
Do you require insurance?
No, we do not. Clients are all offered the same compassionate care at no cost – no matter their financial/insurance status.
Do you accept walk-ins?
While we do welcome walk-ins, we highly suggest making an appointment beforehand to ensure we can serve you as efficiently as possible and minimize your wait time.
I’m under 18. Will my parents know I came in for an appointment?
We do not reveal our clients’ information, no matter their age, without their permission to do so. However, there are cases (abuse or sex trafficking for example) where we are mandated to report to the authorities.
Can I get an abortion there?
No, we focus on the initial pregnancy screen so that you have the information you need to determine your next step.
Is it safe to order the abortion pill online?
It is not safe or recommended to order either abortion pill, mifepristone or misoprostol, online. The pills might not be FDA approved and could cause serious risks to your health.
