Choices Medical Services is here for you, offering confidential pregnancy confirmation services. Your first step is to take advantage of lab-quality testing.

Pregnancy Testing

The most common signs and symptoms of pregnancy include:

• Missed period
• Nausea and/or vomiting
• Breast tenderness
• Frequent urination
• Mood swings/changes
• Fatigue

However, these symptoms can be caused by health conditions, hormonal imbalances, and other factors. Additionally, some women experience irregular cycles, making a missed period an unreliable sign. Taking a pregnancy test will provide an initial result and help you determine your next steps.

It’s essential to get a lab-quality pregnancy urine (hCG) test. A urine pregnancy test measures the levels of hCG, which is a hormone that is secreted when you are pregnant.

Choices Medical Services’ clinics offer no-cost lab-quality testing by qualified healthcare professionals. Click here for more information on scheduling an appointment today.

Limited OB Ultrasounds

While urine hCG tests are highly accurate, they aren’t perfect. A limited OB ultrasound may be offered:

• To confirm a viable pregnancy
• Identify that it is safely located in the uterus
• Assess with more accuracy how far along the pregnancy is
• An hCG blood draw may be necessary if the ultrasound is inconclusive.

Choices Medical Services’ clinics can offer a limited OB ultrasound to provide necessary medical information. Click here to schedule an appointment for a pregnancy test and possible ultrasound.
