If you think you might be facing an unplanned pregnancy, getting clear answers is the first step to making a decision about what to do next. While missed periods and physical changes can raise questions, only reliable testing and an ultrasound can confirm a pregnancy.

Recognizing Early Signs of Pregnancy
One of the most common early signs of pregnancy is a missed period, especially if your cycle is usually regular. Other symptoms may include nausea or vomiting (sometimes called morning sickness), fatigue, breast tenderness or swelling, and increased urination. Some women also notice food cravings, changes in mood, or sensitivity to certain smells.
It’s important to remember that these symptoms can also be caused by other health conditions. While they may suggest you’re pregnant, they aren’t conclusive on their own.
When You Take a Pregnancy Test Matters
Home pregnancy tests can give quick results, but their accuracy depends on timing and proper use. Pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG, which only occurs after a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus. For the most reliable result, it’s best to test after a missed period. Testing too early may give a false negative if hCG levels are still low.
We offer free, medical-grade pregnancy testing that is more dependable than many store-bought tests. Our staff will review your results with you and answer any questions you may have in a private, supportive setting.
Why an Ultrasound Is Essential
If your test comes back positive, an ultrasound is the next step. An ultrasound confirms that the pregnancy is viable and provides critical information about your health. It can determine how far along you are and confirm that the pregnancy is developing in the uterus. This step is crucial for ruling out an ectopic pregnancy, a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
We provide free ultrasounds so you can have accurate, timely information before deciding your next steps.
