PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS
Pregnancy symptoms are different for every woman. Some possible common pregnancy symptoms may include:
-
A missed period
-
Tender, swollen breasts
-
Nausea
-
Vomiting
-
Frequent urination
-
Excessive tiredness
-
Constipation
-
Mild cramping
-
Light spotting
-
Moodiness
Just because you may be experiencing these symptoms may not necessarily mean you are pregnant. Only a physician can diagnose pregnancy. The only way for you to know for sure that you are pregnant is to have an ultrasound exam so that our Medical Director may confirm that you have a viable intrauterine pregnancy.
Our staff is ready to welcome and help you. Call (478) 333-5000 to schedule an appointment.
EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION
Before taking emergency contraception, it is important to connect with a medical professional who can further explain what it is and how it affects your body.
Emergency contraception is taken after a woman has unprotected sex or her birth control method has failed. There are risks and side effects associated with emergency contraceptives one should be aware of, such as:
-
Headache
-
Nausea
-
Vomiting
-
Stomach pain
-
Menstrual pain or cramps
-
Tiredness
-
Dizziness
Emergency contraceptives, such as Ella or the Plan B pill, should not be confused with the abortion pill, Mifeprex, known as RU-486.

Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Testing & Treatment:
STIs can be passed from person to person through unprotected sex and other intimate physical contact. STIs do not always have symptoms, so it is important to be tested if you are sexually active.
We offer STI testing to help you identify potential risks to your health and the health of your partner and/or pregnancy. This service may be performed based on the results of medical assessment, availability, and/or physical examination.

ABORTION PILL REVERSAL
Have you taken the first dose of the Abortion Pill, Mifepristone (Mifeprex or RU-486)? Have you changed your mind and wish you could reverse the effects of the abortion pill?
