Am I Pregnant?

Am I Pregnant?

Your body has amazing mechanisms that signal early pregnancy. If you've had unprotected sex and missed your period, your body might be giving you early signs of pregnancy. For immediate help, chat anonymously with a nurse at no cost by texting 606-519-7390. 

 

Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms

While each pregnancy and woman is different, here are some common symptoms you might experience.1

  • Missed Period: One of the most obvious signs.
  • Nausea: Feeling like you might throw up.
  • Breast Tenderness: Your breasts might feel more sensitive.
  • Increased Urination: More trips to the bathroom than usual.
  • Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired.
  • Mood Swings: Emotional ups and downs.

If these symptoms sound familiar, you might be asking, "Am I pregnant?"

It's also worth noting that you can be pregnant even if you've seen what you think is your period. Sometimes, "implantation bleeding" occurs, which is lighter and different from your normal menstrual flow.2

 

How to Find Out if You’re Pregnant

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or simply had sex recently without birth control, we have helped many women facing the same questions. 

 

Pregnancy Test

The initial step is taking a lab-grade pregnancy test, which is more than 99% accurate. As a non-profit, we offer these tests for free in a confidential setting. Those eligible can also schedule a follow-up for a non-diagnostic ultrasound to ascertain the pregnancy's gestational age.

 

Ultrasound

An ultrasound not only confirms pregnancy but checks for viability, ensuring there's no miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. It also helps in estimating the conception date based on fetal measurements.
