Over-the-counter pregnancy tests are 99% accurate. However, these tests will only show if you're pregnant or not. If you get a positive result, you'll need more information. That's why the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic offers free ultrasound testing.
An ultrasound test provides the information a medical professional needs to determine the fetus' age and the due date. What's more, ultrasounds can also show if there is a complication that needs attention. If the fetus isn't viable, or you have an ectopic pregnancy, you'll need immediate medical care to protect your health and well-being.
We'll refer you to a qualified medical professional so you can get appropriate treatment.
There isn't much you need to do to prepare for an ultrasound. It's not an invasive medical procedure. This means you don't need to stop eating or drinking before you come for your appointment. It is helpful to have a glass of water a half hour before the ultrasound, but this is not required. Wearing a two-piece outfit is convenient, as you'll need to unbutton or lift your shirt for the procedure.
If you suspect you're pregnant, don't hesitate to give us a call and schedule ultrasound testing at your convenience. Our clinic is located at 10201 Mission Gorge Rd., Suite K1, Santee, CA. We're open from Tuesday to Friday, 10 am to 5 pm. All our services are confidential, and we provide not only top-tier medical care but also personalized counseling and support to help you understand all your options and make sound medical decisions.
On your first visit, we'll ask you to provide some information about your health and family health history. This includes details about your menstrual cycle, health history, and any medications you're taking. If you do not have a pregnancy verification signed by a medical provider, we'll give you a urine test to take before your ultrasound. We'll also answer any questions you may have about the procedure and the results of your pregnancy test.
After the ultrasound, your doctor will review the images and write your results. You will be contacted by our nurse team to go over the results and answer any questions you may have. Our team is here to help you make informed medical decisions. We don't refer for abortions, but we can provide information about the procedure. We also offer support for women who choose to keep the baby and information about adoption for women who are considering this course of action. If you'd like, our counselors can help you talk to a partner about your pregnancy. Additionally, we offer childbirth classes, parenting classes, and lactation consultations at no cost.
We also encourage all our patients to get
free STI testing while at the clinic. We test for gonorrhea, syphilis, Hepatitis B and C, chlamydia, and trichomonas. Additionally, we offer referrals for testing for HIV/AIDS, HPV, PID, and other conditions. Even an
asymptomatic infection can cause complications, especially for pregnant women.
