Why an Ultrasound Matters
Before making any pregnancy decision, an ultrasound gives you critical medical information that no home pregnancy test can provide. It is one of the most important steps you can take.
An ultrasound is a safe, painless imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create a picture of your uterus. It takes only a few minutes and can reveal information that changes everything about your next steps.
What an Ultrasound Confirms
Is the pregnancy viable?
A viable pregnancy has a detectable heartbeat and is developing normally. Studies estimate that up to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage — many in the early weeks. An ultrasound confirms whether the pregnancy is still progressing before you make any decision.
Is it an ectopic pregnancy?
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus — most often in a fallopian tube. This is a life-threatening emergency that cannot continue and requires immediate medical treatment. A positive pregnancy test will not detect this. Only an ultrasound can confirm the pregnancy is in the uterus.
How far along are you?
Gestational age determines which pregnancy options are available to you, including which type of abortion procedure would be used, whether abortion pill reversal is still possible, and what your prenatal care timeline looks like. An ultrasound gives a more accurate gestational age than your last menstrual period alone.
Is it a single or multiple pregnancy?
An ultrasound can detect whether you are carrying twins or more, which affects your health, your options, and your care plan.
The Risks of Skipping an Ultrasound
Taking the abortion pill without first having an ultrasound carries serious risks. If you have an undetected ectopic pregnancy and take mifepristone, it will not end the ectopic pregnancy — and the delay in treatment can be fatal. If the pregnancy has already miscarried naturally, you may be taking medication unnecessarily. Knowing your gestational age also ensures you are within the safe window for medication abortion.
