Think you might be pregnant?
If you are sexually active, it’s possible to become pregnant. There are many symptoms that could indicate that you’re pregnant. Some of these symptoms include:
Headaches
Frequent Urination
Darkening of the Nipples
Food Cravings or Aversions
Missed Period
Slight Bleeding
Swollen/Tender Breasts
Fatigue
Nausea/Morning Sickness
Backaches
If you think you may be pregnant, schedule your free, confidential appointment today. Even if you’ve taken an over-the-counter pregnancy test, you may need a laboratory-quality test to be sure. Results can be detected as early as a week after conception. Read more about pregnancy here. Or use this link to learn more about women’s health.
For Women
If you’re pregnant, our services include:
-
You can come to our center and get a test, free of charge :)
-
An ultrasound can confirm:
- How far along you are
- Whether or not your pregnancy is in your uterus
- Whether or not your pregnancy is viable
When considering your options, such as whether or not you will receive an abortion or parent your child, an ultrasound can help you make your decision. Approximately 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, though the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur so early in pregnancy that a woman doesn’t realize she’s pregnant.

For Men
Think she’s pregnant?
-
If your girlfriend is pregnant, it’s important to understand that it affects you just as much as it does her. You may not know what to do in such a situation, but at this point, you will have a significant impact on the choices your girlfriend makes. This is an extremely difficult time for her, and she will need you more than you know. Here is some advice:
-
Your girlfriend is pregnant with your child. Listening to her concerns is important, as the decisions she make affect you very similarly.
-
Because the situation involves both of you, it's important that share your own thoughts and concerns with her. This is a new situation for you, and your best bet is to share with people who care for you.
-
It's possible that you and your girlfriend are not in agreement with the decision she will make with her pregnancy. After listening to her, it's important to be honest with her, so she doesn't feel overwhelmed.
-
Some men feel that their girlfriend's pregnancy doesn't affect them, and that they can simply leave the situation. Not only does leaving her make it harder for her, it also can be hard on you in the future, because if she has the baby, you are still the father. You can't change the situation you're in, so make the most of it.
