Questions to Consider
How do I know if I am pregnant?
Pregnancy symptoms vary from person to person both in intensity and the type of symptoms. You may have one symptom, several symptoms or not notice any!
The most common symptoms in first trimester are:
- missed period
- morning sickness/nausea sometimes accompanied by vomiting
- extreme fatigue
- tender breasts and bloating
- frequent urination
- constipation
The only way to truly know if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test followed by an ultrasound to verify. (1) Wondering how soon you can find out? Check out our How Soon blog to learn more.
I took a pregnancy test at home, why should I be tested at CPC?
Home pregnancy tests continue to improve in their accuracy as technology advances, but several variables may affect your results.
- For a test to give you an accurate result, it must be taken correctly and at the right time.
- Tests that are administered incorrectly have a much higher likelihood of providing a false result. At CPC, our pregnancy tests are administered by our trained staff.
- Based on your estimated conception date and other information, our nurses can advise you on the best time to take a pregnancy test to get the most accurate reading.
- If taken too early, your hCG levels will not be high enough to be detected. (2)
What to expect at my pregnancy test appointment
Our advocate will meet with you and walk with you through out your appointment. She will discuss your options and provide you with resources. There is no judgment or pressure. If you qualify, a pregnancy test will be performed by our staff.
Can I make an appointment for an ultrasound?
- No, ultrasound appointments are scheduled by our licensed medical professional and are only preformed once a positive pregnancy test has been complete at CPC.
- Visit our ultrasound page and our blog – Ultrasound Timing to learn more.
Can I bring a friend to my appointment?
For pregnancy tests appointments, no guests are permitted. For ultrasound appointments, one approved guest is allowed for moral support. For the sake of your privacy, we will meet with you individually at first and then your guest will be invited back when you’re comfortable.
My test was positive, what’s my next step?
Once you receive a positive home pregnancy test, call CPC to schedule one from us so we can confirm pregnancy.
