Confirm Your Pregnancy’s Gestational Age
An ultrasound can confirm how far along your pregnancy is. Even if your cycles are regular, it’s common for timing to be different from what you expect.
Knowing your gestational age is important, since the abortion pill is only FDA-approved through ten weeks, and this information helps determine what options may be available to you.
Determine Your Pregnancy’s Viability
Pregnancy tests detect hCG, which is a hormone present in your body when pregnant. That being said, a positive result doesn’t always confirm a developing pregnancy.
Certain medical conditions, medications, or a recent miscarriage can affect results, which is why an ultrasound is recommended to confirm the pregnancy is still growing.
Learn Your Pregnancy’s Location
Most pregnancies develop in the uterus, but in some cases, the embryo implants outside of it. When this happens, it is called an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic means “out of.”
The most common location of an ectopic pregnancy is a fallopian tube. These pregnancies are not viable and can become life-threatening if not treated promptly.
An ultrasound will confirm the location of the pregnancy, helping to identify concerns early so you can receive appropriate medical care right away.
Next Steps
Even if you feel confident in your decision, an ultrasound can help you better understand important details about your pregnancy.
At Amnion Women’s Center, we provide no-cost clinical pregnancy testing, and if your test is positive, we also offer limited ultrasounds.
