Pregnant?

If you’ve recently had sex and your period is late, there’s a possibility you could be pregnant. However, your menstrual cycle can change for other reasons. Stress, rapid weight gain or loss, a hormonal imbalance, or increased exercise can all cause your period to be late.

If your period is usually irregular, it’s hard to tell. Are you experiencing any other early pregnancy symptoms?

Early Pregnancy Symptoms

These are some of the more common early symptoms of pregnancy:

• Missed period
• Tender, swollen breasts
• Nausea with or without vomiting
• Increased urination
• Fatigue

Some other symptoms you may be experiencing include:

• Moodiness
• Bloating
• Light Spotting
• Cramping
• Constipation
• Food aversions
• Nasal congestion

As you can see, many of these symptoms can be caused by other health issues. Now is the time to take a pregnancy test.

At the Pregnancy Center of Coshocton, we provide no-cost self-administered pregnancy tests.

Are You Afraid to See the Results?

We understand. An unplanned pregnancy is overwhelming and can be scary, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our Client Consultant is ready to walk this road with you.

Sometimes, the very thought of having to tell others (like your parents) is enough to frighten you. It’s okay. You will get through this.

Some Tests Are More Sensitive Than Others

At-home pregnancy tests are reliable and can be purchased at any drug store. If you get a negative result, but your period doesn’t start, wait a couple of days and take another test.

If you don’t want to pay for a test or you’re concerned about privacy, stop by the Pregnancy Center of Coshocton on Friday mornings, and we’ll give you one at no cost.

It’s Positive. Now What?

You have several options. But first, you may want to confirm the results with an ultrasound. We can offer a referral for a no-cost ultrasound near here.
