I’ve missed my period. Does that mean I am pregnant?
Missing a period might mean you’re pregnant, but it could also mean you are under a good deal of stress or be a symptom of other health conditions, such as an STI.
If you have had sex recently then there is a chance you may be pregnant.
The best way to find out is to schedule a confidential appointment in a medical office like Hope Pregnancy Center in Willmar, Minnesota.
You can also take a home pregnancy test. Most over the counter at home pregnancy tests are 99% reliable, however, only a physician or other appropriate healthcare professional can medically verify 100% if you’re pregnant. Meeting with a medical professional in office is the most reliable method of pregnancy testing.
At Hope Pregnancy Center located in Willmar, Minnesota, our medical staff can give you a free medical verification of a positive pregnancy test. Our services are safe, confidential, and our staff provide you the compassionate environment you deserve.

What is implantation bleeding?
Some women mistakenly think implantation bleeding is a period. Therefore, they may be further along in a pregnancy than they think. This is why it is important to have a reliable pregnancy test and an ultrasound for estimation of weeks.

How do I know if I’m pregnant for sure?
The at-home pregnancy tests and period and fertility apps may contain good indicators. A medical-grade pregnancy test that measures the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy hormone is very accurate. An ultrasound is another very accurate method of detecting pregnancies.
If you are concerned about:
- being pregnant
- facing an unexpected pregnancy and not sure about your choices
It’s important to get verification of a positive pregnancy test to base your upcoming decisions on the most accurate results possible.
All of our services are completely free and confidential, please schedule an appointment today.
