Confirm Your Pregnancy with Pregnancy Testing

Home pregnancy tests can be accurate, but if you receive a positive result, you may choose to follow up with additional pregnancy testing. 

Pregnancy testing is available through an independent, onsite medical office. This can provide additional information as you consider your next steps.

Pregnancy testing is performed through the independent, onsite medical office, where medical professionals can explain your results in a confidential environment.

Learn More with a Limited Ultrasound

If your pregnancy test result is positive and you are eligible, a limited ultrasound may be available. This scan can provide important information about your pregnancy, including:

• How far along you are (gestational age)
• How the pregnancy is progressing and whether cardiac activity is detected
• Where the pregnancy is located and whether it is developing inside the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy develops outside the uterus and requires medical attention.

Having this information can help you better understand your pregnancy as you consider your options.

If eligible, a free, limited ultrasound is available through an independent, onsite medical office.
