Wondering if you’re pregnant? If you’re waiting to take a pregnancy test or simply want to know what to watch for, the most common indicator of early pregnancy is a missed period.
However, this can be a misleading symptom of early pregnancy if you have an irregular period or if it is simply delayed.
Other early pregnancy signs that may lead you to take a test include breast tenderness, swelling or pain, nausea or vomiting (often referred to as “morning sickness”), increased urination, and significant fatigue.
Changes in appetite or increased sensitivity to smells may mean it’s time to consider a confidential pregnancy test at our center.
How Accurate are Pregnancy Tests?
Most at-home pregnancy tests boast up to 99% accuracy, but it can be beneficial to follow up with a lab-quality pregnancy test, which we offer for free at our center.
We can also help you calculate the best time to take the pregnancy test if you’re worried you might take it too early to receive accurate results.
While a pregnancy test can detect the presence of hCG, a pregnancy hormone, it can still be present in your body if you have recently experienced a miscarriage.
1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage, so we offer no-cost ultrasounds at our center, where you can follow up a pregnancy test with an ultrasound to confirm your pregnancy’s viability (if it has a heartbeat & is progressing).
