Being pregnant wasn’t what you planned for at this moment. We get it. An unexpected pregnancy can be quite a shock. Before you do anything else, you need to confirm your pregnancy with a free pregnancy test and a limited ultrasound. There’s more to learn, and we’ll help you get the answers.
How Do I Know I’m Pregnant?
The first sign of pregnancy is usually a missed period, but you can have a change in your menstrual cycle for many reasons. Stress, a hormonal imbalance, increased exercise, or rapid weight gain or loss can all cause you to skip a period.
Your first step is to take a pregnancy test. To get the most accurate results after a missed period, visit Options Women’s Care Center. Our healthcare professionals provide free and confidential pregnancy testing.

You can take an at-home pregnancy test, but following the directions closely is essential. Come to us. We’ll assist you, ensuring you can be confident in the results.
If your test is positive, we recommend a no-cost limited obstetrical ultrasound as your next step. Why an ultrasound? A limited ultrasound confirms if your pregnancy is viable (developing) or not.
Experts estimate that more than one in four pregnancies end in a miscarriage. It’s possible to get a positive pregnancy test days or weeks after a miscarriage because it takes your body time to return to pre-pregnancy hormone levels.
