When Should I Take a Pregnancy Test?

According to the Mayo Clinic, the best time to take a pregnancy test is at least one day after your missed period. Waiting until a little after your missed period gives your body time to produce a detectable amount of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)—the pregnancy hormone.

Why do I Need an Ultrasound?

An ultrasound is necessary to confirm pregnancy and determine your pregnancy options. If you are considering abortion, you will need an ultrasound to know which types of options are available to you. Ultrasounds confirm three important details of pregnancy, including:

  • If your pregnancy is viable (progressing)
  • The location of your pregnancy (if it’s growing inside the uterus)
  • How far along you are (the gestational age)

What Are The Common Symptoms Of A Pregnancy?

Pregnancy is a unique experience: some women experience many signs of pregnancy, while others may experience none at all. Here are a few of the common ones:

  • Missed period
  • Tender, swollen breasts
  • Nausea with or without vomiting
  • Increased urination
  • Fatigue
  • Moodiness
  • Bloating

These are just a few of the symptoms to recognize, but you don’t have to rely on ambiguous signs. A pregnancy test is your first step toward clarity.
