Pregnant?

Am I pregnant? If you’ve recently had unprotected sex (or even protected sex) and your period hasn’t started yet, there’s a chance you’re pregnant.

Early pregnancy symptoms

Every pregnancy is different, just like every woman, but these are some common symptoms:

  • A missed or late period
  • Tender or swollen breasts
  • Frequent urination
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Fatigue or increased tiredness
  • Mild abdominal cramping
  • Food cravings or aversions
  • Mood Swings

You may not be pregnant

Believe it or not, it’s possible to have some of these symptoms and not be pregnant. Hormonal changes, stress, or rapid weight gain or loss are just some of the reasons for a change in your normal menstrual cycle.

Irregular periods could signify polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal disorder. If you’re a dancer, gymnast, or runner, a change in your cycle could be due to high physical activity levels.

Up to 30% of known pregnancies will not carry to term. Of those that will miscarry, 80% will happen in the first 12 weeks. Your body may still experience pregnancy symptoms days and even weeks afterward.

You can get a false-positive result on a pregnancy test. The only way to know if you’re definitely pregnant is by getting an ultrasound.

At-home pregnancy tests

Many over-the-counter pregnancy tests are accurate. The problem with using them at home is the tests are often taken too soon, there’s sometimes user error, or the expiration date has passed.

If you’ve taken an at-home pregnancy test, let us confirm your results with one of our no-cost, lab-quality tests administered by a member of our staff.

It never hurts to get a second opinion. Other offices in the area charge for their pregnancy testing, but at ABC Women’s Health & Ultrasound Center, you can get tested and never receive a bill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Do I need an appointment?

Answer: It is recommended that you make an appointment to minimize wait time.

Question: What is the cost?

Answer: All our services are free and confidential.

Question: How long after sex does it take for a pregnancy test to work?

Answer: Our tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A patient with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.

Question: How accurate is the pregnancy test?

Answer: Our medical grade pregnancy tests have a 99% accuracy rate.

Question: Will you tell anyone about my visit?

Answer: We maintain a rigorous privacy and confidentiality policy. Our clients' information is safeguarded against unauthorized disclosure, respecting their right to privacy, except in instances mandated by law. This includes situations necessary for public health, preventing harm to the client or others, or in specific circumstances where the use or disclosure of information is justified without prior consent, such as in cases of abuse reporting or suicide/homicide prevention.

Question: When should I schedule an appointment?

Answer: Our high-quality, medical-grade pregnancy tests are capable of detecting pregnancy from the first day after your initial missed period. We advise scheduling an appointment if you've missed a period, have any queries related to pregnancy, or suspect that you might be pregnant.

Question: How far along do I have to be to get a free ultrasound?

Answer: After an initial consultation, we offer on-site ultrasound scans. These limited ultrasounds are conducted by a registered nurse or a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS) and are subsequently reviewed by a licensed physician. The purpose of an ultrasound is to confirm the viability of the pregnancy and to establish the gestational age.

Question: I already know I'm pregnant and I want an abortion, what's next?

Answer: It is advisable to have an ultrasound to confirm the viability of your pregnancy and to ensure it is located within the uterus, as 20% to 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Moreover, the ultrasound helps in determining the stage of your pregnancy, which is essential in making an informed decision about the type of abortion procedure you may consider. We offer a limited ultrasound free of charge.
