# Am I Pregnant?

![Am I Pregnant?](https://www.informedchoicesclinic.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Am%20I%20pregnant.jpg)

Your body has incredible ways of signaling early pregnancy. If you've recently had unprotected sex and missed your period, you might be experiencing early pregnancy symptoms. Need answers now? Chat with a nurse at [(319)-519-0072](sms:+13195190072).

 

## Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms

Every pregnancy and woman is unique, but here are some common thoughts you might be having:

 

- Have I missed my period?
- I feel like throwing up.
- My breasts feel tender.
- I am getting up to pee more than usual.
- I feel a little wiped out.
- Why am I feeling so moody?

 

If you’re reading this, you’ve likely noticed some signals from your body that have you wondering, “Am I pregnant?”

It's also possible to be pregnant even if you think you've had your period. Sometimes, you may experience “implantation bleeding,” which causes light spotting but is not a true period.

 

## How to Find Out if You’re Pregnant

 

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or recently had unprotected sex, we have helped thousands of women with the same questions.

 

### Pregnancy Test

The first step in determining if you are pregnant is to take a[lab-grade pregnancy test](https://www.informedchoicesclinic.com/pregnancy-tests-in-burlington-iowa-city), which is typically over 99% accurate in detecting pregnancy hormones.

As a non-profit organization, we offer low to no-cost, confidential pregnancy tests. Those who qualify may also receive a non-diagnostic ultrasound at their next appointment to verify the gestational age of their pregnancy.

 

### Ultrasound

[An ultrasound](https://www.informedchoicesclinic.com/ultrasounds-burlington-iowa-city) not only confirms your pregnancy but also verifies the viability of the fetus. Additionally, sonographers can measure the fetus to estimate the conception date.

 

## Online Pregnancy Help

If you need help confirming your pregnancy, getting a low to no-cost test, or even an ultrasound, Informed Choices is here to help.

Simply text [(319)-519-0072](sms:+13195190072) to speak with a real, certified nurse who will answer your questions and walk you through your options.
