Am I Pregnant?
Your body has built-in ways of alerting you to potential pregnancy. If you’ve recently had unprotected sex and noticed a missed period, you might be wondering if what you’re feeling could be early signs of pregnancy. Need answers now? Text anonymously with a nurse at 843-536-0002.
Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms
Every woman’s experience is unique, but here are some frequent symptoms women notice in early pregnancy.1
- My period is late.
- I feel nauseated or queasy.
- My breasts seem more sensitive.
- I’m using the bathroom more often.
- I’m more tired than usual.
- I’ve been feeling more emotional lately.
If you're reading this and recognizing some of these signs, you might be asking yourself, "Could I be pregnant?"
Keep in mind, pregnancy is still possible even if you’ve had some bleeding. Light spotting, known as implantation bleeding,2 can occur when the embryo attaches to the uterine lining. This is different from a menstrual period.
How to Find Out if You’re Pregnant
Whether you’re noticing symptoms or simply had unprotected sex, you're not alone. Many women have asked the same questions—and found clarity through simple steps.

Pregnancy Test
The most reliable way to find out if you're pregnant is by taking a pregnancy test. Our tests are high quality, detecting the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and are over 99% accurate when used correctly.
We offer free, confidential pregnancy testing through our non-profit center. In some cases, you may also qualify for a non-diagnostic ultrasound to learn more about your pregnancy.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound provides helpful information beyond just confirming pregnancy. It can:
-
Check whether the pregnancy is located in the uterus.
-
Determine if the pregnancy is viable (not miscarried or ectopic).
-
Measure the fetus to estimate the approximate date of conception, or how far along you are.
