Empowered & Informed.

The first step in determining if you are pregnant is to take a lab-grade pregnancy test, which is over 99% accurate in identifying pregnancy hormones.

As a non-profit organization, we offer confidential pregnancy tests, regardless of your ability to pay. Those who qualify can also receive a limited obstetrical ultrasound at their next appointment to verify the gestational age of their pregnancy.

On average, there are two to three days each menstrual cycle when you ovulate, which is the time when you can get pregnant. This usually occurs about two weeks after your last period starts.

By calculating the time since your last period, you can get a rough idea of your ovulation window and when you might have conceived.

The most accurate way to determine your conception date is through an ultrasound. Fetuses grow at a consistent rate, so the age of the fetus can be measured. This makes an ultrasound more accurate than an ovulation calculator for determining the date of conception.

If you need help calculating your date or have questions that a registered nurse can answer, Text with us now at (319)-519-0072 .

Like with any medical procedure, the pain experienced varies from person to person, depending on how their body responds to treatment and their individual pain tolerance.

Other factors also impact pain levels, such as the type of abortion and the stage of fetal development.

We offer confidential services, regardless of your ability to pay, to help you make well-informed and practical decisions for your future. You do not need insurance to access our services.

In order to do this, we help eligible clients enroll in Medicaid which will cover the costs of any treatment and care Informed Choices provides.

If you are unable to have costs covered by Medicaid, Informed Choices may still be able to serve you. Reach out to learn more about your options.

All of our services are confidential and private, regardless of your age. You are welcome to come alone or bring a friend or parent, but it's not required.

Informed Choices does not offer or refer for pregnancy terminations or birth control. Information and services are provided only as an educational service. We do, however, offer pre-termination appointments to assist you with questions and confirm your pregnancy's vitality and gestational age – all things required before scheduling an abortion appointment. 

We understand that navigating your options can be scary and confusing. If you are looking for a safe and confidential place to talk, a nurse is available to chat with you 24/7.
