Wondering if you might be pregnant? Whether this possibility comes as a surprise or something you’ve been quietly worrying about, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by a wave of different emotions—fear, uncertainty, anxiety, or even hope.
In moments like this, what matters most is getting the answers you need in a safe and supportive environment.
At Carolyn’s Place Women’s Center, we’re here to walk with you, offering compassionate care and free services to help you take the next step, whatever that may be.
When Should I Take a Pregnancy Test?
Maybe your period is late, or you’ve noticed changes in your mood, appetite, or energy levels. While these can be early signs of pregnancy, they can also be caused by other factors like stress or hormone fluctuations. That’s why a test is the best first step toward clarity.
Some common early pregnancy symptoms include:
- A missed period
- Tender or swollen breasts
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fatigue or unusual tiredness
- Increased urination
- Mood swings or emotional ups and downs
- Food aversions or cravings
- Constipation, bloating, or mild cramping
- Light spotting
If you’re experiencing one or more of these signs, it’s a good idea to take a pregnancy test—even if you’re unsure. Over-the-counter tests can give you a quick answer, but aren’t always accurate if taken too early or misused.
What Happens After the Test?
At Carolyn’s Place, we offer free self-administered pregnancy tests with accurate results you can rely on.
If your test is positive, you may also qualify for a free limited ultrasound. This can help determine how far along you are, the location of your pregnancy, and whether the pregnancy is developing.
Understanding this information gives you a clearer picture of your options moving forward.
