If your period is late and you’re feeling sort of queasy, you may be wondering if you’re pregnant. Every woman experiences pregnancy differently. Some women feel every symptom immediately, while others may not experience symptoms for weeks or months.

Come to Willowbrook Women’s Center for a lab-quality pregnancy test. You won’t be asked to pay a co-pay or provide insurance information. We offer all of our services at no cost to you.

Are You Feeling Any of These Symptoms?

According to the Mayo Clinic, the following are classic signs and symptoms of pregnancy:

• A missed period.
• Tender, swollen breasts.
• Nausea with or without vomiting.
• Increased urination.
• Fatigue.

You might also experience some of the following:

• Moodiness.
• Bloating.
• Light spotting.
• Cramping.
• Constipation.
• Food aversions.
• Nasal congestion.

These Could Also Be Symptoms of Other Health Issues

Stress, hormonal imbalances, rapid weight gain or loss, and increased exercise can all cause changes in your monthly menstrual cycle. You could feel nauseous from the flu, and a urinary tract infection can cause an increase in urination.

Pregnancy testing is your first step to getting answers. However, you must wait until the first day or two after your missed period to test. Your body needs time for the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), to build to detectable levels.

We offer complimentary pregnancy testing at Willowbrook Women’s Center.

You’ll Also Want to Get an Ultrasound

A positive pregnancy test indicates a possible pregnancy. An ultrasound scan can confirm your pregnancy. Don’t skip this vital step.

We offer a no-cost limited obstetrical ultrasound scan. When you get an ultrasound, you’ll learn the following:

• Is the pregnancy developing, or have I miscarried? It’s entirely possible to get a positive pregnancy test after a miscarriage because it takes time for your body to return to pre-pregnancy hormone levels.
• How far along am I? By taking measurements, our ultrasound technician can determine the number of weeks and days since the pregnancy began.
• Where is my pregnancy located? Only the uterus is capable of maintaining a growing pregnancy. If the pregnancy forms elsewhere, it could cause a life-threatening health issue.
