If you’ve missed a period, it’s natural to wonder: Am I pregnant?

A late or missed period is one of the most common early signs of pregnancy—but it isn’t the only reason your cycle might be off.  Stress, changes in routine, birth control, or medical conditions can also cause irregular cycles.

 Before you panic, here are three important steps to take if you’ve missed your period.

 1. Take a Pregnancy Test

A pregnancy test is the quickest way to start getting answers. Home pregnancy tests are common, but they aren’t always accurate—especially if taken too early. For peace of mind, schedule a medical-grade pregnancy test.

 At The SHARE Center, we provide free and confidential pregnancy testing so you can know for sure.

 

2. Confirm with an Ultrasound

 Even if your test is positive, you’ll want to confirm with an ultrasound. Why? Because:

• Not all positive pregnancy tests mean a viable pregnancy.

• An ultrasound can show how far along you are.

• It can also rule out an ectopic pregnancy, which requires immediate medical attention.

 We offer free limited ultrasounds so you can get the facts about your pregnancy and make an informed decision about your next steps.

 

3. Talk It Through with Someone You Trust

An unexpected pregnancy can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re worried about symptoms, unsure what to do next, or just need someone to talk to, you don’t have to go through this alone.

 Our caring team is here to listen, answer your questions, and connect you with resources that can help. No pressure. No judgment. Just support.
