If you’re reading this, it’s likely you’ve noticed some signals from your body that have your brain asking, “Am I pregnant?”
It is also possible to still be pregnant even if you think you’ve had your period. On some occasions, you may experience “implantation bleeding,” which can result in light spotting but is not itself a period.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or simply had sex recently without birth control, we have helped thousands of women facing the same questions.
Pregnancy Test
The first step in determining if you are pregnant is to take a lab-grade pregnancy test, which is typically over 99% accurate in identifying hormone levels consistent with pregnancy.
At Charis Center, we offer free, confidential pregnancy tests. Those who qualify may also receive a non-diagnostic ultrasound at the following appointment to verify the gestational age of their pregnancy.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound not only confirms pregnancy but also assesses the fetus's viability to ensure that the pregnancy is viable and not ectopic. Additionally, sonographers can measure the fetus to determine the approximate date of conception.
