Happy International Women's Day!

Today we celebrate the strength and resiliency of women and the amazing contributions they make to our world every day. 💜

We all probably feel like we spend too much time connected to our phones, so the thought of unplugging for 24 hours may feel overwhelming. There are mental, emotional, and physical health benefits, and here are some ideas for what to do with your time if you choose to participate in National Day of Unplugging:

📖 Read a book. There's nothing like getting lost in a great work of fiction. Make a trip to your library to pick from among popular favorites, or dust off the cover of that book on your nightstand you've been wanting to dig into.

👩 Spend some time alone. Write down how you're feeling or some goals you want to accomplish for the next year.

🚶Go for a walk. It's great to get outside and soak in vitamin D and breathe fresh air. Sometimes we prioritize exercise but forget we also need the many benefits of also being outside.

🏋️‍ Exercise. Head to the gym, or pick a 30-minute workout on YouTube to get your endorphins going and experience the energy that comes from moving your body.

An ectopic pregnancy refers to a pregnancy that is located outside the uterus. It is a serious health condition that requires special medical attention. Healthcare professionals can use limited ultrasounds to help you learn about your pregnancy, health, and safety.

Periods don't always follow a strict schedule, and it's all about what's "normal" for you!

However, sometimes irregularities can have underlying causes, such as:

1. Health concerns (like eating disorders or PCOS)
2. Excessive exercise
3. Pregnancy

If you've missed your period and are concerned you might be pregnant, call us for lab-quality pregnancy testing.
