If you’ve been sexually active and notice you haven’t been feeling yourself, you may be wondering if you are pregnant.
While each woman’s pregnancy can be different, there are common symptoms that can be an indication of pregnancy.
Here are the top seven symptoms of a possible pregnancy:
- Missed period
- Nausea/Vomiting
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue
- Tender, swollen breasts
- Mood swings
- Bloating
Best Way to Confirm a Pregnancy
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, you can take an at-home pregnancy test to determine whether you are pregnant.
Keep in mind, though, that while at-home tests are usually very accurate, it is possible to get a false positive or false negative if taken incorrectly.
That’s why it’s best to confirm your pregnancy with a highly accurate, medical-grade pregnancy test at Lilli Women’s Center. A nurse administers our tests so you can be confident in the results. Plus, the tests are completely free and confidential.
If your test is positive, we offer a free and confidential ultrasound.
Benefits of an Ultrasound Scan
An ultrasound scan provides three areas of valuable information about your pregnancy.
- Location: Most pregnancies implant and grow properly within the uterus. However, sometimes a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, such as in a fallopian tube or the cervix. This type of pregnancy is called an ectopic pregnancy and is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention to protect your health.
- Viability: According to the Mayo Clinic, as many as 20% of pregnancies can end in miscarriage. An ultrasound can confirm whether the pregnancy is viable (developing) or whether you have miscarried.
- Age: Determining how far along you are in your pregnancy is crucial to identifying the available options for you. For example, the FDA only approves the drugs for a medical abortion through the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.
