Am I Pregnant?

Could You Be Pregnant? Here’s What Early Signs Might Be Telling You.

Your body is pretty amazing—it often gives off signals early on that something’s changed. If you've recently had unprotected sex and your period is late, you might be wondering whether you’re showing signs of pregnancy. Want to talk it through? Text a nurse anytime at (803) 990-3323—it's free and confidential.

 

Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms

Pregnancy looks different for everyone, but these are some of the most common early signs people experience:¹

  • Did I miss my period?

  • Why do I feel nauseous out of nowhere?

  • My chest feels more sensitive than usual.

  • I'm running to the bathroom more often.

  • Why am I so tired all the time?

  • Is it just hormones, or am I super moody lately?

If you’ve found yourself asking questions like these, it could be your body’s way of hinting that you might be pregnant.

 

But Wait—Didn’t I Just Get My Period?

It’s possible to mistake implantation bleeding for a light period. Implantation bleeding happens when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus lining and can cause mild spotting. This isn’t a true period, but it can make things confusing.²

So yes—you could still be pregnant even if you thought you had your cycle.

 

How to Find Out if You’re Pregnant

Whether you're showing symptoms or just unsure after having sex without birth control, you’re not alone. Thousands of women have faced the same questions.

 

Step 1: Take a Pregnancy Test

Start with a lab-quality pregnancy test, which can detect pregnancy hormones with over 99% accuracy when taken at the right time.

At Lifebridge Pregnancy Center, we provide free, confidential pregnancy testing—no insurance or judgment involved. And if your test is positive, we may also offer a follow-up ultrasound referral at no cost.

 

Step 2: Consider an Ultrasound

An ultrasound can confirm the pregnancy, check if it’s developing in the right place (not ectopic), and measure how far along you are. It also helps determine whether the pregnancy is viable (meaning it hasn’t ended in miscarriage).

Ultrasounds give you more clarity about your options and what steps to take next.
