While home pregnancy tests are generally reliable, they must be purchased, taken at the right time, and used correctly. Charis Center’s pregnancy tests are administered by a registered nurse who can interpret the results, answer your questions and help you prepare for the next steps.
Women suspecting they may be pregnant can visit Charis Center as a walk-in, but scheduling an appointment is recommended to minimize your wait time. We are open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Ultrasound
After your pregnancy is confirmed with a pregnancy test, the next step is an ultrasound. An ultrasound provides information about the pregnancy including when the baby was conceived, which helps you know when you became pregnant and when the baby will be due.
Your ultrasound may happen the same day as your pregnancy test, but often, it is scheduled for another day. Ultrasounds are most accurate when performed after 6 weeks.
Pregnancy Options
After a positive pregnancy test and ultrasound, a Charis Center nurse will explain your options and help you understand what is happening medically and what will come next.
