For Men
We’re Here For You Too
Your partner has just announced she’s pregnant. How can one word make such a difference in a person’s life? Pregnant? You’re probably feeling dazed, confused, and angry. Now, what should you do?
When it comes to making a pregnancy decision, your voice matters. Here are some steps you may want to take:
Step One
Before you both worry about her decision, verify the pregnancy first. Come to Life’s Choices Women’s Clinic for no-cost pregnancy testing and ultrasound. Home pregnancy tests are reliable, but you need a second opinion.
An ultrasound reveals if her pregnancy is viable (growing with a detectable heartbeat) or if she’s had a miscarriage. We always ask if your partner would like you to join her for the ultrasound.
Step Two
Meet with a Male Advocate. You can review her test results and discuss your options.
Step Three
Support her to help reach a decision together. Your voice matters, and she needs to hear from you.
Taking Care of You
Although our name is Women’s Clinic, we offer services for men too.
STD/STI Testing
Anyone sexually active should be tested for sexually transmitted diseases/infections (STDs/STIs) regularly. Many people in the early stages of an STD/STI don’t experience symptoms. Often, without symptoms, they don’t get tested, but early screening is essential to prevent complications later on. With or without symptoms, the disease can still spread from person to person.
At Life’s Choices, we offer men and women no-cost and confidential testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea, two of the most common STIs.
Practical Fatherhood
Our fatherhood program, Men MENtoring Men, begins during the first medical appointment. Men MENtoring Men is the opportunity for you to meet with a male advocate to discuss your feelings about becoming a dad.

Pregnancy Tests
If you have had unprotected sex or missed your period, you might wonder if you are pregnant. The first thing you should do is take a pregnancy test. We offer lab-quality pregnancy testing at no cost.
Ultrasounds
If you are pregnant, an ultrasound will help determine how far along you are, if the pregnancy is viable (growing), and if it’s located in the correct place. We offer limited obstetric ultrasounds at no cost.
STD Testing
When a person engages in sex or sex-like activity, there’s a chance of contracting an STD. Most people with an STD don’t have immediate symptoms. Regular testing helps prevent later physical risks. We offer no-cost and confidential STD testing to women and men.
