Okay, so I recently had to deal with a situation where I needed to find some health services, and I ended up at Planned Parenthood in Englewood. I thought I’d share my experience, from start to finish, in case anyone else is in a similar boat and wondering what to expect.
First off, I started by doing some research online. I needed to figure out what services they offered and how to go about getting an appointment. I found out that they do all sorts of things there – STD testing, birth control, even abortions. I was kinda nervous about the whole thing, but seeing that they had online services too made me feel a bit better.
Since I wasn’t sure exactly what I needed, I decided to look up how to actually get in touch with them. There was an option to book an appointment online for certain things, but I wanted to talk to someone directly. I found a phone number, (800) 863-4155, for their member services, which seemed like the best way to go.
When I called, I explained my situation. I was facing an unexpected pregnancy and I really didn’t know what to do. The person on the phone was really nice and helpful. They said they could confirm the pregnancy and talk me through my options, which was a huge relief. They even had TTY for people hard of hearing.
- I made an appointment: After talking to them, I felt a lot more comfortable, so I went ahead and made an appointment to go in.
- I went to the clinic: When I got there, everyone was really professional and kind. It wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be.
- They confirmed my pregnancy: They did the tests and confirmed that I was pregnant. It was a lot to take in, but at least I knew for sure.
- We discussed my options: The staff sat down with me and we went over all the possible options. They explained everything really clearly and answered all my questions, which was so important to me at that moment.
- Birth Control: They gave me some information about birth control options like the pill, shot, implant, and IUD. They explained how each one works and what the pros and cons are. It was good to have all that info laid out for me.
In the end, going to Planned Parenthood in Englewood was a really good decision for me. They helped me figure out what was going on and what my options were in a way that felt safe and supportive. If you’re ever in a situation where you need these kinds of services, don’t hesitate to reach out to them. They really do know what they’re doing, and they’re there to help.
