According to the Mayo Clinic, the most common early signs and symptoms of pregnancy might include: missed period; tender/swollen breasts, nausea with or without vomiting, increased urination, fatigue.
If you notice any of these symptoms, you might be pregnant. While missing a period or other symptom may indicate pregnancy, it is not a guarantee. Even at-home pregnancy tests can show a positive result even though you are NOT pregnant. At the Rockville Women’s Center, we offer medical-grade pregnancy testing to accurately verify if you are pregnant. If the test is positive, we can help determine the gestational age and viability of the pregnancy with a limited ultrasound. Our ultrasound provides you with important information on the development of the pregnancy and gives vital details needed to help determine all of the options available to you. If you think you may be pregnant, please contact us and we can help you.

At your initial visit, you will meet with an Advocate who will take important information to get to know you and help us better serve you. Next, you will meet with our medical staff who will ask you questions about your medical history with a focus on your sexual and reproductive health. The medical staff will also explain the type of tests that we will perform during your visit and answer any questions that you may have. You will provide us with a urine sample which will be used to perform a pregnancy test and an STD test (Chlamydia and Gonorrhea only). If the pregnancy test we perform is positive, you will be offered an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy and determine how far along you are. After confirmation of the pregnancy, the medical staff will discuss your options, potential risks, and side effects. If additional care is needed, we will provide you with a customized list of medical and/or community support referrals. We will schedule an additional appointment with you within one week to go over test results.
