When you call to schedule an abortion, this is the full list of questions we will ask you.
2. What was the first day of last menstrual period?
3. How many vaginal births have you had?
4. How many c-section births have you had?
5. What medications are you currently taking?
Depending on your circumstances, you may want an initial visit or need one to complete additional paperwork. Here is the list of some of those circumstances, and how they will affect your appointment.
If you are under 18-years-old and cannot tell your parent or guardian, you can come to the clinic to complete the JUDICIAL BYPASS process prior to your abortion or on the day of your abortion.
If you need to use a translator to understand medical terms, you can utilize our phone translation services or come into the office for the phone translation services.
If you are unsure of the date of your last period and want to determine how many weeks gestation you are prior to your abortion.
If you want to talk with someone about your options of abortion, adoption, and parenting.
Certain health conditions can create complications during the abortion procedure. If you have a health issue, it’s important we know your full medical history so we can give you safe care.
Allegheny Reproductive Health Center provides abortions up to 23.6 weeks in a pregnancy. The Pennsylvania state limit is 24 weeks. Additional states can see patients that are farther in their pregnancies. If you want a referral because you are over our limit, please call us.
When you call to make your appointment, we will ask you for the date of the first day of your last normal period. We will use that date to determine how far you are in the pregnancy. When you come in for your appointment, we will perform a vaginal or abdominal ultrasound to confirm your stage in pregnancy.
If you are unsure of your last menstrual period but have a positive pregnancy test, call us to schedule an Initial Visit if you want to determine how many weeks you are prior to scheduling an abortion. At this visit we can perform an ultrasound.
In Pennsylvania, it is required that patients speak with a doctor 24 hours or more before the abortion procedure. We call this a Doctor Consultation. You can schedule your Doctor Consultation to be over the phone or at our clinic.
Doctor Consultations over the phone: During this telephone conference, the doctor will discuss state-prepared information with you. To schedule the phone call with the doctor, we will give you a list of conference call dates and times. It is important you choose a day and time that you can that works for you. The scheduling staff person will give you the login information. Please log into the conference line 5-10 minutes early if possible. If you miss your conference call, you must call us immediately or your appointment may have to be rescheduled. We cannot provide you with an abortion unless this legal requirement is met. We understand that this law can be a barrier for people accessing abortion, but we must comply with Pennsylvania State law.
Doctor Consultations at our clinic: With an in-clinic Doctor Consultations, you will come to our clinic face-to-face or by video in the office at least 24 hours prior to your abortion appointment.
Medication Abortions, a.k.a. the Abortion Pill
Surgical Abortions are outpatient procedures and don’t involve cutting or stitching. You will be released shortly after the abortion is complete, but you can consider a form of Pain Management for the procedure, and possibly bring a support person depending on the type of pain management you choose.
Further information about each type of abortion can be found on our Abortion Options page.
Plans that we accept include:
This is not an exhaustive list. If you would like to know if we accept your insurance, please contact us at 412-661-8811.
We will schedule you for the earliest possible appointment your situation allows and requires. Usually you can schedule an appointment within 1 week of calling our office.
Due to space restrictions, we do not allow guests in the building for abortion appointments.
You may see protestors outside of our building. They do not know you or what you are here for, since we offer a variety of services. They may try to speak to you, but they are required by the City of Pittsburgh to stay 15 feet away from the entrance. On Saturdays, you will see clinic escorts in brightly colored vests outside to help guide you to the clinic.
In most cases, we can offer birth control or a prescription for birth control on the day of your abortion. Our counselors can go over your options for birth control. If you aren’t getting an abortion but are still interested in birth control, make an appointment at our clinic for a gynecological exam. We will go through all your birth control options and help you pick the right one for you.
