You may have so much on your mind when experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. Get your questions answered today and take your next step with confidence. You’re not alone!
How do I Know I’m Pregnant?
At-home pregnancy tests are very accurate, but there’s still a slight chance for inaccuracy. To confirm your at-home pregnancy test, verify your results with our lab-quality pregnancy tests.
Do I Need an Ultrasound?
An ultrasound is your next step to pregnancy confirmation. Confirm vital pregnancy details and what options you qualify for. An ultrasound reveals…
- How far along you are in your pregnancy (gestational age)
- Ensure you’re not experiencing a potentially life-threatening ectopic pregnancy (Necessary to know before an abortion)
- Rule out a miscarriage, which occurs in about 10 to 20% of known pregnancies
Following a positive pregnancy test result at True Care, we’ll offer you a no-cost ultrasound appointment to medically confirm your pregnancy.

When Should I Take a Pregnancy Test?
The best time to take a pregnancy test is at least one week after your missed period. This allows your body to produce a detectable amount of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) – a pregnancy hormone. If you take a test earlier or before your missed period, there is a higher chance for a false negative result.
