ULTRASOUND NEAR Lake in the Hills & Algonquin, IL?
Although you may have a positive pregnancy test, an ultrasound is the best way to confirm your pregnancy and determine its viability. If you test positive on the pregnancy test administered at Focus Women’s Center, you may be offered a free, limited obstetric ultrasound as part of your Pregnancy Verification and Consultation appointment.
At Focus Women’s Center, we use ultrasound to confirm 3 things:
- that the pregnancy is located inside the uterus where it needs to be to survive
- whether or not the pregnancy has a heartbeat
- the gestational age of the pregnancy (how far along you are)
