Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know I’m Pregnant?

Do I Need An Ultrasound?
We recommend getting an ultrasound to protect your health and safety. During pregnancy, an ultrasound alerts if the pregnancy is located where it should be and is not ectopic (outside the uterus). Ultrasound imaging is necessary because immediate medical intervention is needed to protect the woman’s health if an ectopic pregnancy occurs.
An ultrasound can also alert women to a potential miscarriage. According to the Mayo Clinic, “About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. But the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur very early in pregnancy — before you might even know about a pregnancy.”
What Are the Signs of an STD?
The earlier you can catch signs of an STD, the better. According to the CDC, STD symptoms vary when they appear, and sometimes you have no symptoms until it’s too late. For example, Chlamydia may appear multiple weeks after you’re infected, and Gonorrhea between 1-14 days after infection. Here are some of the most common early signs of an STD:
- Burning sensation when urinating
- Unusual discharge
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Pain during sex
- Bumps on genitals
- Pelvic pain
If you test positive for an STD, setting up a treatment plan immediately with a medical professional is vital. You owe it to yourself to get the clarity you need, as your health is number one.
