Pregnancy

How do I know if I'm really pregnant?
Think you’re pregnant? The best way to confirm pregnancy is through a medical-grade pregnancy test or ultrasound.

Our Medical Director authorizes a lab-quality pregnancy test and trained personnel administer the test. Test results are confirmed by a nurse and shared with the patient by a nurse or patient advocate.

Our clinic is located in Farmington, NM. Send us a message to make an appointment, or call us at (505) 327-4747.

Can a home pregnancy test be wrong?
You may be questioning whether the home pregnancy test you took is accurate or not. Home pregnancy tests work by detecting a hormone known as hCG. Some women get different results from their tests and may want to confirm their pregnancy at a medical clinic.

It’s important to confirm whether you have a viable pregnancy with a medical grade pregnancy test confirmed by a qualified nurse to determine whether or not you’re pregnant.

Deciding what to do when you find out you’re pregnant is a big decision that you shouldn’t ever feel pressured or coerced into making.
