# Am I Pregnant?

![Am I Pregnant?](https://www.yourwomenscenter.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Am%20I%20pregnant.jpg)

Your body has incredible ways of signaling early pregnancy. If you’ve recently had unprotected sex and missed a period, you may be starting to notice symptoms that feel unfamiliar or unexpected.

Need answers now? Text a **Nurse** at [**(802) 883-3636**](sms:+18028833636) for support **free of charge**.

 

##### Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms

Every woman and every pregnancy is different, but there are some common experiences that might make you pause and wonder.¹

- Have I missed my period?
- I feel like throwing up.
- My breasts feel tender.
- I’m getting up to pee more often.
- I feel more tired than usual.
- Why am I feeling so moody?

If any of these sound familiar, your body may be trying to tell you something. Many women reach this point and find themselves asking, *“Am I pregnant?”*

It’s also possible to be pregnant even if you think you’ve had a period. Some women experience **implantation bleeding**,² which can look like very light spotting but is not an actual menstrual cycle.

 

##### How to Find Out if You’re Pregnant

If you’re noticing early pregnancy symptoms—or simply had unprotected sex recently—you’re not alone. **The Women’s Center** has supported many women who were asking the very same questions.

 

Pregnancy Test

The first step in confirming a pregnancy is taking a [**lab-grade pregnancy test**](https://www.yourwomenscenter.org/pregnancy-test), which is over 99% accurate in detecting the hormone your body produces during pregnancy.

At **The Women’s Center**, pregnancy testing is offered **free of charge and confidentially**. If you qualify, you may also be scheduled for a **limited diagnostic [ultrasound](https://www.yourwomenscenter.org/free-ultrasounds)** at your next visit to help determine how far along you are.

 

Ultrasound

An ultrasound does more than confirm a pregnancy. It helps determine:

- Whether the pregnancy is **viable** (not miscarried)
- Whether the pregnancy is **ectopic** (outside the uterus)
- An estimated **gestational age**
- An approximate **date of conception**

Understanding these details can be an important part of deciding what comes next.

 

##### Online Pregnancy Help

If you need help confirming your pregnancy, scheduling a test, or arranging a **limited diagnostic ultrasound**, [**The Women’s Center**](https://www.yourwomenscenter.org/request-appointment) is here for you.

Text **[(802) 883-3636](sms:+18028833636)** to connect with a **Nurse Advocate** who can answer your questions and help you explore your options with care and understanding.
