Discovering that your birth control has failed can be a moment filled with anxiety and uncertainty. It’s natural to feel a whirlwind of emotions, but the first step is to take a deep breath and approach the situation with calmness and clarity.

Remember, you are not alone in facing this, and there are clear steps you can take to better understand your situation.

Taking An At-Home Test

Begin by taking an at-home pregnancy test. These tests are designed to be a preliminary method to detect pregnancy by measuring the levels of hCG, a hormone produced during pregnancy, in your urine.

It’s important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure the accuracy of the test. However, keep in mind that the timing of the test can affect its reliability. Taking it too early might not provide accurate results because the hCG levels may not be high enough to detect. It’s also best to test in the morning when hCG is most concentrated.

Getting A Second Test

If the at-home pregnancy test indicates a positive result or if you have doubts about its accuracy, the next step is to seek follow-up pregnancy testing. At Bella Women’s Center, we offer free pregnancy testing.

We can also help you determine the next steps, regardless of the outcome, and offer support and resources tailored to your needs.
