When Should I Take A Pregnancy Test?
How soon do you take a pregnancy test? According to the Mayo Clinic, the best time to take a pregnancy test is at least one week after your missed period. This waiting period gives your body time to produce a detectable amount of HCG – a pregnancy hormone.

Do I Need An Ultrasound?
Yes! It’s essential not to skip this step of the pregnancy confirmation process. It’s the only way to truly confirm how far along you are which determines what your options are moving forward.
An ultrasound is necessary to confirm your pregnancy and our center provides no-cost ultrasound referrals today. An ultrasound reveals three vital details of your pregnancy, including:
- Whether your pregnancy is viable (has a heartbeat & is growing)
- How far along you are (the gestational age)
- The location of your pregnancy (whether it’s growing within the uterus or not)
