Take comfort in knowing you’re not alone. Many women navigate the challenges of unexpected pregnancies and share similar thoughts and feelings. Need answers now? Chat with a nurse anonymously for free at [(719) 694-3201.](sms:+7196943201) This blog aims to guide you through some important steps you can take, offering you support and information as you navigate this challenging time.   ### How Do I Make Sure I'm Pregnant? Before making any decisions, it’s important to confirm if you’re truly pregnant. While home pregnancy tests can be a helpful first step, they’re not always 100% accurate.1   To get a clear answer, consider scheduling a visit with a healthcare provider or a nearby pregnancy center. There, you can access a free and reliable pregnancy test. Having confirmation will give you the clarity you need to confidently take your next steps.   ### When Did I Conceive? Gaining an understanding of when conception may have occurred can help bring clarity to your pregnancy timeline. Conception typically occurs about two weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.2, 3 If you’re unsure about your dates, an ultrasound can help determine how far along you are.[Schedule a free ultrasound](https://whatchoices.com/free-ultrasound).   ## Is Abortion Legal in Colorado? Abortion laws vary widely by location, with some places allowing it and others heavily restricting or banning it. In Colorado, abortion is legal. Contact one of our care experts for anonymous support and more information if you have questions about the laws in your area.   ### Where Can I Go to Get Free Support and Services? Dealing with an unexpected pregnancy can feel lonely, but there are numerous resources ready to support you. Many pregnancy centers offer a range of free services, including pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and confidential counseling. At [Choices](https://whatchoices.com/book-appointment), we provide a nonjudgmental environment where you can receive information and support.   ##### Understanding Your Options Although abortion may feel like the only option, it’s essential to take time to explore all the possibilities. Parenting and adoption are also meaningful choices, each offering unique challenges and rewards. It’s equally important to consider the potential physical, emotional, and psychological impacts of abortion. While some may initially feel relief, others might experience emotions like sadness, grief, or guilt over time. Connecting with a counselor or someone who has faced a similar situation can offer helpful insights and support as you navigate your decision.[Request a free, confidential consultation](https://whatchoices.com/book-appointment).   ##### Emotional and Physical Well-being Your well-being is paramount. Pregnancy, whether planned or unexpected, brings a whirlwind of emotions. It's normal to feel confused, scared, or even angry. Seeking emotional support from trusted friends, family, or professionals can make a significant difference. Advocational services can help you navigate these emotions and ensure you have the support you need.   ## Abortion Education & Support If abortion is something you’re considering, it’s vital to gather as much information and support as possible. Local pregnancy centers provide a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where you can explore your options and make an informed choice. These centers often offer services like pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and advocational services to help you gain a clear understanding of your situation.
