Pregnancy Tests
How Do I Know if I'm Pregnant?
Are you experiencing pregnancy symptoms, and want to get tested?
Wondering whether or not you may be pregnant can bring feelings of dread, anxiety, stress or excitement, and we know that being pregnant isn’t always in your plan. If you’re considering your options, click here for an appointment.
To verify your pregnancy, it’s important to get a lab-quality pregnancy urine (hCG) test. A urine pregnancy test detects hCG, which is a hormone that is secreted when you are pregnant.

The most common signs and symptoms of pregnancy include:
- Missed period
- Unusual or abnormal period
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Breast tenderness
- Frequent urination
- Mood swings/changes
- Fatigue
Ultrasounds
If you are pregnant, an ultrasound will help determine how far along you are. We offer limited obstetrical ultrasound to prove the viability of pregnancy. Services are free and confidential.
