FAQ

What can I do about people pressuring me?

Remember, no one else will be required to live with the consequences of your decision more than you will.  If someone is pressuring you to make a quick decision, explain your needs and concerns and try to include them in the counselling process.  You have the right to make an educated choice.

Can I have a baby and still live my life?

You may see this unplanned pregnancy as a major roadblock in your life.  Thankfully there are other routes that can get you back on track.  Be encouraged that many women have found the necessary help and resources.

Will you arrange my abortion?

We are not a medical facility.  We do not facilitate or refer for abortions.  The Centre’s purpose is to provide meaningful alternatives to abortion for women with an unplanned pregnancy.  Because the difficulties involved in an unplanned pregnancy are usually multi-layered and complex, we are staffed with peer-counsellors trained specifically to assist you in the decision making process.

How accurate are your pregnancy tests?

Our urine pregnancy tests can detect a pregnancy as early as one day after a missed period with 99% accuracy.

Can I have a retest if my test is negative and my period doesn’t start?

Yes, you may be rescheduled for another test.  The hCG hormone doubles every 22 days during the first three months of pregnancy.
