How do I know if I'm pregnant?

To verify a pregnancy, start with lab-grade pregnancy testing. These tests are over 99% accurate (14 days after conception) in detecting pregnancy hormones. We provide free, confidential pregnancy testing—no insurance needed. If you qualify, you can also schedule a free, limited OB ultrasound during your visit to learn how far along you are.

Ovulation typically happens two to three days each menstrual cycle, usually about two weeks after your last period started. This is when your body is most likely to become pregnant. By tracking the time since your last period, you can estimate your ovulation window and, in turn, when conception may have occurred. An ultrasound offers a more precise way to determine conception. Since fetuses grow at a steady rate, their age can be measured, providing a clearer date range than an ovulation calculator. During your ultrasound appointment, we can help bring clarity to your questions. Need answers now? Text a nurse privately anytime at (719) 694-3201—it's free and confidential.

The amount of pain a woman experiences during an abortion procedure varies from person to person. It depends on her body's response to the procedure and her pain tolerance. Other factors, like the type of abortion and the stage of fetal development, can also affect the level of discomfort. You can talk about these factors with a nurse during your appointment or text a nurse privately anytime at (719) 694-3201 for free support and information.
