Am I Pregnant?

Am I Pregnant?

Could You Be Pregnant?  Your body has remarkable ways of signaling when something changes—early pregnancy included. Whether you’ve had protected or unprotected sex, there is always a possibility of getting pregnant. If you’ve had sex and missed your period, you might be noticing signs that point to a possible pregnancy.

Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms

Every woman and every pregnancy is different, but here are some early symptoms that often prompt the question, “Could I be pregnant?” 1

 

  • I’ve missed my period.
  • I feel nauseous or like I might throw up.
  • My breasts feel sore or tender.
  • I’m using the bathroom more than usual.
  • I’m more tired than normal.
  • My emotions feel all over the place.

If you’re experiencing any of these changes, your body may be trying to tell you something.

It’s also important to note that some women experience light spotting early in pregnancy, known as implantation bleeding.2 This can sometimes be mistaken for a period, even though it isn’t.

 

How to Find Out if You’re Pregnant

If you’ve recently had sex and are now having symptoms, you’re not alone. Many women have been in your shoes—and we’re here to help you find answers.

 

Pregnancy Test

The first step is taking a high-sensitivity, lab-grade pregnancy test. These tests can detect the hormone hCG, which the body produces during pregnancy, with over 99% accuracy when taken at the appropriate time.

We offer free, confidential pregnancy testing with no insurance required. If your test is positive, you may also qualify for a free non-diagnostic ultrasound at a follow-up visit.

 

Ultrasound

An ultrasound can confirm your pregnancy, estimate how far along you are, and check for viability—meaning whether the pregnancy is developing normally inside the uterus. It can also rule out complications such as miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
