How much do you charge?
All of our services, including pregnancy tests, options counseling, and limited ultrasounds are always free and completely confidential.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome, but scheduling an appointment is recommended for faster service. To book your visit, fill out our online form or call 404-763-4357.
Can I make an appointment JUST for an ultrasound?
When you schedule an appointment, an ultrasound is not a guaranteed service. Because an ultrasound is a medical procedure, we need to make sure youโre seen by a member of our medical staff before receiving an ultrasound. Youโll first receive a free pregnancy test in our clinic, and if positive, one of our medical staff members will determine if you qualify for an ultrasound.
This determination is made after receiving a pregnancy test at one of our centers.
What is a limited ultrasound?
A limited ultrasound means that we do not assess for gender or other prenatal purposes beyond determining:
1) that the baby is in utero;
2) that the baby has a heartbeat;
3) the measurements of the baby.

How soon after having sex can I find out if I am pregnant?
Pregnancy tests are most reliable when you are about seven days late for your period. Call us today to schedule your free pregnancy test to find out for sure if youโre pregnant or not.
Can my boyfriend or husband come with me?
Partners and children are welcome. We encourage clients to bring their partner, especially since we have a Male Advocate available. Children may also accompany clients but must be supervised at all times. For ultrasounds, space is limited, so we recommend bringing only a significant other or support person. If a child is present during the ultrasound, please note that PAC chaperones have limited ability to provide supervision. We strongly encourage bringing a significant other to watch the child.
What is fetal development?
Do you give a verification of pregnancy?
Yes, we provide verification of your pregnancy test results based upon your information.

Do I have to tell my parents?
If Iโm pregnant, could I also have an STI?
If you have had any sexual contact, itโs possible that you could have an STI in addition to being pregnant. You can contract an STI through any kind of sexual intercourse โ vaginal, anal, and oral. If you think you may be pregnant, itโs important to get tested for STIs as well, because they can pose health risks to you if left untreated. Call today to schedule your free STI screening and pregnancy test.
