Our clinical pregnancy tests are completely free & confidential. These clinical urine tests are capable of detecting pregnancy as early as 1 day after your first missed period and the manufacturer states that this test is 97-99% accurate. As with all diagnostic tests, however, a definitive clinical diagnosis should not be based upon the results of this test alone.
Once we have the results of your pregnancy test, our team will be there to offer factual and judgement-free information regarding all of your pregnancy options and support you as you plan out your next steps.
Did you know that a positive pregnancy test does not medically confirm a pregnancy?
Here’s why:
To medically confirm a pregnancy, we need to actually SEE a viable pregnancy in the uterus.
A pregnancy outside of the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube (usually referred to as an ectopic or tubal pregnancy), is a life-threatening situation. Early detection is essential.
It is possible for your test to read positive, even during the early stages of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy (according to the American Pregnancy Association, 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage).
If you have already received a positive pregnancy test, your next step is scheduling a Confirmation Ultrasound to verify your pregnancy, gestational age and location of the pregnancy.
If you're on the fence about whether or not to come in for pregnancy testing, we'd recommend playing it safe. Chances are, if you're thinking about it, there's a reason. Plus, you really have nothing to lose! For a little time and exactly $0.00 you can have peace of mind and a fellow woman to talk through whatever might be on your mind.
