Your fist step is to find out if you are actually pregnant. Missing your period is the most common indication, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re pregnant.
Pregnancy verification can start with an at-home test but needs to be followed up with a lab-quality pregnancy test. If you receive a positive lab-quality test, an ultrasound is next. HiPeak Health offers both pregnancy testing and ultrasounds, completely free and confidential.
The timing is very important when it comes to taking a pregnancy test! Taking a test after you miss your period allows for a higher likelihood of receiving an accurate result. To be sure of the results, follow up your at-home test with a lab-quality pregnancy test. Though at-home tests can have a high rate of accuracy, there is a slight chance of error or taking the test too early. Below are some common pregnancy symptoms of pregnancy that you could be experiencing:
Pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of hCG in a provided urine sample. hCG is the hormone associated with pregnancy and those levels increase as you progress further into your pregnancy. While you are at your appointment with the center, you will be asked to provide a urine sample. One of our nurses will take your sample and test it with our lab-quality testing equipment. The test only takes a few minutes to process and you will have your results during your appointment with us.
After you have a positive pregnancy test, the next step would be confirming your pregnancy with an ultrasound. Ultrasounds verify your positive test and give you valuable information about the pregnancy. HiPeak Helath offers ultrasounds at no cost and are completely confidential.
