The first step is to find out for sure.

It may just simply be a hormonal or a general health care issue. It is a good idea to confirm your pregnancy and check your health, then you can discuss future steps with medical care.  

A home pregnancy test can often result in a false positive. The most reliable way to know if you are pregnant is a medical verification of pregnancy. At the Community Women’s Centers, we provide a safe, compassionate, and confidential environment to obtain a medical verification of pregnancy free of charge.  

How do I know if I’m pregnant for sure? 

The at-home pregnancy tests and period (menstrual cycle) and fertility apps may contain good indicators. A medical-grade pregnancy test that measures the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy hormone is very accurate. The levels of hCG are detected in your blood, and accurately measures them versus home tests. An ultrasound is another very accurate method of detecting pregnancies.  

If you are concerned about: 

  • being pregnant 
  • facing an unexpected pregnancy and not sure about your choices 
  • or, think you may be experiencing an ectopic pregnancy (when a fertilized egg is implanted in the fallopian tubes) 

It’s important to get a medical verification of pregnancy to base your upcoming decisions on the most accurate results possible. Knowing how many weeks of pregnancy you may be is also vital. 

All of our services are completely free and confidential, please schedule an appointment today.

Was it a period or implantation bleeding?

Some women mistakenly think implantation bleeding is a period. Therefore, they may be further along in a pregnancy than they think. This is why it is important to have a reliable pregnancy test to confirm the amount of hCG in your blood and to have an ultrasound. 

Please schedule your free and confidential medical verification of pregnancy today.

If you get a positive medical verification of pregnancy, you have a lot to consider. There are resources and people to help you maneuver through your list of questions. You’ve got to take care of yourself. This means understanding your body to help make the best decision for you in this situation. 

Please read through the resources available on important pages in our website. These include topics featured in Medical Services, Social Services, and Learn.
