Whether this was your first or fifth pregnancy test, a positive result can be overwhelming for many. And if this is an unexpected pregnancy you may be unsure of who to tell, what you should do next, or even what choice to make. We're here for you every step of that journey, regardless of your final choice and are here to encourage you in a great first step of processing your thoughts.

Process Your Thoughts
  • How do I know that my pregnancy test is accurate?

    A positive pregnancy test is just the first step. The next step is to make an appointment with a medical provider for a pregnancy diagnosis. Don't have one? Book an appointment above with Beacon Medical, a third-party provider.


    In the first trimester of pregnancy, a healthcare professional can determine if your pregnancy is viable or not with an ultrasound. An ultrasound uses painless sound waves to create a picture on a screen and gives your healthcare professional important information about your pregnancy. In early pregnancy, it can determine your pregnancy location, how far along you are, and if your pregnancy is viable.


    Our medical referral program will help connect you to a free or low-cost GYN appointment. Set your appointment above.

    We know that this decision can feel overwhelming and confusing.
