Abortion also known as Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy (“VIP”). (Fee Schedule) FCHC believes that every woman has a right to determine the outcome of her pregnancy regardless of her age, marital status, race, or income. "There aren't ‘women who have abortions’ and ‘women who have babies.’ Those are the same women at different points in their lives." - Rachel Atkins, PA, MPH Read – some details We offer first-trimester abortions (through 13.6 weeks gestation) accordingly to the Virginia law. [mouse over link to Patient Information PDF Virginia] The "weeks gestation" is determined by ultrasound examination. Though a pregnancy often is dated from the first day of your the last menstrual period (LMP) the time of conception usually occurs two weeks after the beginning of the menstrual period. Seven to 10 days after conception (3+ weeks by the LMP) a urine test for pregnancy hormones may read positive and the pregnancy can be safely ended. Our VIP services include Early Option use of medications through 8 weeks gestation as well as the traditional Aspiration D&C 5 weeks to 13.6 weeks. The average length of time a patient spends in our clinic is 2 to 3 hours. We achieve this short stay by scheduling individual appointments throughout the day. Abortion fees include health education and birth control options, Rh determination, appropriate laboratory and sonogram studies and a follow-up examination.
