Did you know that a positive urine pregnancy test is not enough to medically confirm your pregnancy? It is important to verify your pregnancy with BOTH a pregnancy test and a limited ultrasound.
Pregnancy tests alone are not a medical diagnosis of pregnancy. Even a male can have a positive pregnancy test if he has certain medical conditions. Pregnancy tests cannot tell if your pregnancy is viable or whether or not you may face a natural miscarriage.
After a positive urine pregnancy test, a limited, first-trimester ultrasound can provide critical information about the status of your pregnancy, such as:
- How far along you are
- Is the pregnancy inside the uterus (or is it ectopic, or outside the uterus)
- Is there a heartbeat
Where Can I Go for a FREE Ultrasound?
LifeLine Pregnancy Center provides access to no-cost, limited first-trimester ultrasounds through referral to an onsite, independent medical clinic. This type of ultrasound can confirm essential details you need to determine what pregnancy option is best for you.
We can refer you for an ultrasound if you have received a positive pregnancy test result and if you meet specific eligibility criteria.
