Pregnancy Testing
*
*
  • We do quick, free pregnancy tests.
  • Tests need to be carried out at least 2 weeks after an episode of unprotected sex or can be carried out when your period is late.
  • Pregnancy tests are carried out using a small sample of your urine on a special kit.
  • Our tests take around 3 minutes.
  • We will discuss the result with you in detail and give you information about what choices you have and what to do next.
Referral for termination of pregnancy
All options will be discussed with you and if you then decide this is what you want to do we can refer you for a termination of pregnancy at hospital. We do not carry out termination of pregnancy on the premises. Considering having a termination of pregnancy (abortion) is very difficult, and we at CY will try our best to help you reach the decision, which is right for you.

Terminations in this country are performed legally under the 1967 Abortion Act, which means that they can only be carried out for certain reasons, can only be performed in an approved place, and need the agreement of two doctors who must sign a legal form.

We always offer counselling and this is highly recommended (See Someone to talk to section).The Counsellor will help you understand how you feel and what to expect, and then you will see one of our doctors (usually during the same visit) who will make a referral to the hospital for you to have a termination.
