Pregnancy Testing
Mya Women’s Center provides free pregnancy testing and confirmation in Ashtabula, Ohio. A positive test (including those taken at home) suggests a high probability that you are pregnant. However, the result should be confirmed.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS YOU SHOULD TAKE A PREGNANCY TEST?
Are you unsure if you need to take a test? Do you know what pregnancy signs to look for? Early pregnancy symptoms can be hard to detect and easy to misinterpret. That’s why it’s a good idea to take a pregnancy test if you’ve been sexually active and you are noticing any of the following symptoms:
- Missed period. It is recommended that you wait 1 week after a missed period for accurate results.
- Unexpected changes to your body such as soreness, headaches, tiredness, breast sensitivity, nausea, or vomiting.
- Unexplained mood changes like irritability, mood swings, or food cravings and aversions.
These are a few of the most common and well-known pregnancy symptoms. However, most women experience these symptoms differently, and some may have very few of them at all. Think you’re pregnant? Contact us to get a free pregnancy test in Ashtabula, Ohio.

PREGNANCY TEST CONFIRMATION
If your test is positive, our staff will determine next steps, such as an ultrasound exam and STI testing. An ultrasound can confirm a viable pregnancy and can give an estimate of how far along you are. This is valuable information if you’re considering abortion or your options.
