After fertilization and then implementation, the placenta forms and produces the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). This hormone then enters your bloodstream and urine. As the pregnancy progresses, the HCG concentration doubles every two to three days. The pregnancy test detects the HCG, thus indicating a positive test result. The more days you wait, the higher the concentration of HCG.

Adoption is the loving act of placing a child in a forever family. Today, birth mothers and fathers who cannot care for their children have many options when deciding on adoption.
In many ways, you get to choose! As the birth parent, you will have the opportunity to choose an adoption agency, choose the adoptive family for your child, and decide if you would like an open or closed adoption. When you choose the adoptive parents / family for your child, you will be able to see if they have qualities that you think are important: hobbies, interests, lifestyle, faith beliefs, etc. This allows you to pick a family that you believe will best support and nurture your child. There are many couples and families waiting to adopt and begin building (or add to!) their families.
An open adoption or semi-open adoption plan will allow you to have ongoing contact with your child and their adoptive parents. This could be through pictures, phone calls, or even in-person visits. This type of adoption allows you to continue to be a part of your child’s life.
A closed adoption is another option. This adoption plan provides confidentiality for you and your child’s adoptive parents. However, if at any time you would like to visit or receive updates about your child, your adoptive agency can connect you with the adoptive parents of your child and possibly get you connected.
Today, you have many freedoms in choosing adoptive parents for your child. Adoption is choosing a forever family for your child, a family that has been waiting and preparing a home for them. Adoption is not giving your child away. Staff at Anchor of Hope can connect you with a licensed adoption agency of your choice to ask questions and explore options.
The Center for Disease Control recommends STD testing any time you have a new partner or multiple sex partners.
The services performed in a yearly check-up vary by physician. Some physicians will not screen for STD’s as a part of your routine appointment unless you request it. Please ask your physician for more information on their STD testing protocol and remember the Centers for Disease Control recommends screening any time you have had a new or multiple sex partners.
No. The Sexual Health Reproductive laws in Wisconsin allow you to receive full testing and treatment without parental consent. However, because STD and pregnancy testing can often lead to a wide range of follow up discussions, we encourage clients to talk with a trusted family member or friend about sexual health concerns. If you choose, you may bring that person to the appointment. All services are free of charge and confidential with the very rare exceptions of abuse or neglect where reporting is required by law.
No, licensed medical professionals help assess your level of risk for various infections and provide you with information. Testing recommendations are made, and YOU decide what you would like to be tested for.
*swab/visual exam as part of the Well Woman Exam appointment only.
No, we are not a dispensary for emergency contraception (Plan B, The Morning After Pill). However, medical staff are happy to discuss how it works and possible side effects of its usage.
Anchor of Hope Health Center does not provide, nor refer, for hormonal birth control. However, licensed medical staff are available to provide information about birth control. Medical staff may also refer you to your primary physician to discuss this subject.
No, we do not provide condoms.
Regarding pregnancy, condoms, when used properly every time, have a theoretical effectiveness rate of 98% for pregnancy. In reality, “18 out of 100 people will be come pregnant if condoms are the only birth control used.” SOURCE
Regarding sexual health risk, although condoms can reduce the exposure risk to infections, they do not eliminate risk of infection. The CDC states, “The most reliable ways to avoid transmission of STD’s are to abstain from sexual activity, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner.” SOURCE
