We know this moment can feel scary, but we’re here for you. Book a no-cost appointment today to learn how we can help.
Taking a Pregnancy Test
Though you likely want to learn if you’re pregnant right away, keep in mind that you’ll receive more accurate results if you wait a week after your missed period or several weeks after sex. This gives any hCG in your body time to build to detectable levels.
This pregnancy hormone is detected by blood and urine-based pregnancy tests. However, if you take a test too early, you may be pregnant, but the test couldn’t detect hCG and instead produces a false negative result.
We provide pregnancy tests, and our team of registered nurses can answer your questions.
Receiving an Ultrasound
If you receive a positive pregnancy test with us, we’ll offer you a no-cost limited obstetrical ultrasound. Remember, even with a positive test, you should confirm your pregnancy with this scan.
The ultrasound will tell you whether your pregnancy is progressing, where it is located, and how far along you are. It can help clarify your options and unique situation.
Learning About Your Options
Once you’ve confirmed your pregnancy, you can discuss your pregnancy options.
Heart to Heart will explain each option in a confidential, nonjudgmental environment. We don’t provide or refer for abortions, but our nurses can answer questions that you might have about abortion, adoption, and parenting.
We’re here to provide accurate information as you navigate an unexpected pregnancy.
