A positive result can come with a rush of questions.
You may feel uncertain about what comes next, or unsure of how you feel about the news itself.
Whatever your reaction, the steps below can help you move forward with facts, not guesswork. You can also schedule a free appointment with A Choice for Women to get the answers you need. We’re here for you.
Confirm the Result
Before you plan anything or make a decision, confirm your positive result with a clinical test.
At A Choice for Women, you can receive a free onsite pregnancy test, and a staff member will discuss your results with you right away.
Get a Limited Ultrasound Scan
A positive pregnancy test tells you the pregnancy hormone hCG is present.
But it can’t provide important details about your pregnancy that matter for your health; for that, you need an ultrasound scan.
An ultrasound can identify a miscarriage, which is estimated to occur in up to 26% of pregnancies.
This scan also verifies the pregnancy’s location. It can detect an ectopic pregnancy, which grows outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube, and requires prompt medical treatment to protect your health.
Just as importantly, an ultrasound will also help you determine your gestational age, which is crucial for understanding what options are available to you. For example, the FDA approves the abortion pill only through 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Learn All of Your Options
Once your pregnancy is confirmed and you have your ultrasound results, you will be better equipped to know your options.
Taking the time to learn the details and ask important questions is crucial to protecting your health and future.
Talk With Someone Who Will Listen
We’re here for you. In addition to free pregnancy test confirmation, A Choice for Women offers a follow-up limited ultrasound scan and counseling in a safe, no-judgment zone. Our staff will walk you through the details of your pregnancy, discuss your options, and answer your questions.
