How Do I Know If I’m Pregnant?
And what should I do if I am?
If you think you might be pregnant, the only way to know for sure is to get a lab quality pregnancy test and ultrasound. Doing so will identify IF you are pregnant, and will confirm the location (uterine or ectopic), gestational age (how far along you are), and viability (likelihood of survival) of the pregnancy. This information is imperative to know right away, regardless of your choice to carry the pregnancy.
Some of the preliminary signs that you might be pregnant include:
- A missed period
- Frequent Urination
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Sensitivity to smells and certain foods
- Mood Swings
- Swollen or tender breasts
- Bloating
- Light spotting
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, or you think you may be pregnant, you need to schedule your no-cost, lab-quality ultrasound at Choices. Our staff is ready to offer real healthcare, without judgment, and your appointment is completely confidential. Health insurance is not required.

Free Pregnancy Tests
Our medical-grade pregnancy test can detect if you are pregnant within 7-10 days of conception and are more accurate than home pregnancy tests that can be purchased at drug stores.
Free Ultrasound
If your pregnancy test is positive, depending on availability you may be scheduled for an ultrasound appointment in the clinic with a medical professional. An ultrasound:
- Confirms viability of the pregnancy
- Measures the gestational age of your baby
- Confirms your pregnancy is located in the uterus (if not it represents an immediate health risk for you)
