When did I conceive?

Are you pregnant but not sure exactly when you conceived? An ultrasound is the most accurate way to determine how far along your pregnancy is. Ultrasound exams provide images and include various measurements of your developing baby that can help estimate how many weeks pregnant you are and your approximate conception date. If you are making a pregnancy decision and want to learn more about your pregnancy and your options, schedule an appointment for free ultrasound services in Rockwall & Mesquite, Texas.

How To Know When You Conceived

In general, there are a few ways to determine your conception date. No method is 100% accurate, but some are more reliable than others.

Ovulation

The first way to find out your conception date is to determine when you were last ovulating. In general, women can only conceive when they are ovulating — that is, when their ovaries release a new egg into their fallopian tubes for fertilization. That means you can use your ovulation dates to try to determine when you became pregnant.

Ovulation usually occurs about two weeks after your menstrual period and lasts for two or three days. This means you can sometimes determine when you conceived based on your ovulation cycles — simply determine when your last menstrual period was and add approximately two weeks.

However, this method isn’t always accurate. Not all women have the same cycles of menstruation and ovulation, some women’s menstrual cycles are irregular, others have ovulation periods closer to or further from their menstrual period and some women simply aren’t sure when their last period was. In other words, calculating conception based only on your body cycles can be difficult.

Intercourse

Another way to learn your conception date is to try to determine the last time you had sexual intercourse. Unfortunately, this method isn’t totally accurate either. Conception is a process that takes time and a man’s sperm can actually stay alive inside your body for up to a week after sex.

This can make it difficult to determine when you conceived, especially if you have had more than one partner during the time when you ovulated. Also, remember that you could become pregnant even if you or your partner used birth control, since no method of birth control is 100% effective at preventing pregnancy.

Ultrasound

The best way to determine your conception date is with a pregnancy confirmation ultrasound. Early pregnancy ultrasounds can determine the age of your growing baby and when you likely conceived. The earlier in pregnancy that this ultrasound is performed, the more accurate the measurements will be, and the more likely you are able to determine the conception date. We provide free limited obstetric ultrasounds to confirm pregnancy. This method of determining your conception date can be more accurate than date-based calculation, especially for women with irregular periods or who don’t know their last menstrual period date.

If you are interested in receiving a free pregnancy verification ultrasound, you must first take a free pregnancy test at one of our centers. Visit us today or call (972) 772-8292 for more information on finding out your conception date.

Abortion Laws in Texas

Understanding Abortion Laws in Texas

Navigating reproductive health care can feel overwhelming, especially as laws and regulations vary widely from state to state. In Texas, a range of abortion-related policies are currently in effect. Whether you’re seeking information for yourself or someone you care about, understanding the current legal landscape can support informed and confident decision-making. The Pregnancy Resource Center, with locations in Rockwall & Mesquite, Texas, provides information on abortion and free ultrasound services to confirm a viable pregnancy (has not miscarried and is not ectopic) for individuals considering abortion. The Pregnancy Resource Center does not provide or refer for abortions.

Current Abortion Laws in Texas

Abortion is currently banned in the state of Texas except to preserve the life of the mother and in cases where the pregnancy poses a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function. Current abortion laws in Texas do not affect care for miscarriage or ectopic pregnancies. A woman who obtains an abortion cannot be held criminally or civilly liable. It is illegal to ship abortion inducing drugs into the state of Texas. The FDA does not recommend buying the abortion pill online as it may bypass important safeguards. (1,2,3)

Although abortion is not legal in Texas, there are still important steps you can take before traveling out of state. One of the most critical is scheduling a free and confidential ultrasound at one of our centers. An ultrasound can confirm whether you have a viable pregnancy (has not miscarried and is not ectopic) and determine how far along you are - key information that impacts what type of abortion procedure you may be

eligible for in another state. The Pregnancy Resource Center does not provide or refer for abortions.

Miscarriage Care Is Not Affected

It’s important to clarify that Texas’s abortion laws do not restrict access to miscarriage care . A miscarriage (spontaneous pregnancy loss) is not the same as an abortion , and medical care for miscarriage remains fully legal and available throughout the state. (1)

Unfortunately, misinformation has led some to believe that emergency care for miscarriage is no longer accessible in states with abortion bans. This is not true and can be harmful. Miscarriages can present serious health risks, and hospitals in Texas are both legally

permitted and equipped to provide appropriate medical care. If you or someone you know is experiencing a miscarriage, do not hesitate to seek emergency medical attention.

Parental Consent and Provider Guidelines

Minors seeking an abortion in Texas must have parental consent and parental notice . However, if you are under 18 and unsure of your next steps, know that you can still receive free and confidential support from our centers. We provide services such as pregnancy testing and ultrasounds to confirm a viable pregnancy (the pregnancy has not miscarried and is not ectopic), and parental consent is not required for these services. We are here to help you learn more about your options and support you without judgment. 4

Empowered Consent

Understanding your rights and responsibilities under state law is a crucial part of empowered consent. Whether someone chooses to carry a pregnancy to term, explore adoption, or seek an abortion, access to clear, accurate information is essential. Our centers offer free and confidential services before abortion. These services are available to minors, and parental consent is not required.
