Pregnancy tests detect a pregnancy hormone called hCG in your blood and urine. Taking the test at the right time is critical to getting accurate results.
Doctors suggest not taking a test until at least the first day of your missed period. However, if your monthly cycle is irregular, it may be difficult to determine the day.
The longer you wait, the more accurate the results will be.
A positive pregnancy test and a missed period may not be enough to determine if you are pregnant. Over one in four pregnancies end in an early miscarriage.
Because it takes a woman’s body time to return to pre-pregnancy hormone levels, you can get a positive pregnancy test and no longer be pregnant. In addition to confirming a viable pregnancy, the ultrasound will determine how far along you are.
Sexually transmitted infections are more common than you may think. According to the CDC, millions of new infections occur each year. There are dozens of STIs, and many of them don’t have symptoms.
Left untreated, STIs can cause serious health issues. Testing is inexpensive and easy. Ask us about testing resources in our area.
Our services, including pregnancy testing and ultrasounds, are free and completely confidential. No one is notified of your visit.

An abortion is a serious medical decision, and we want you to be fully prepared to decide.
You have two other options. One option is to make an adoption plan for your child. Although it’s not an easy decision, adoption can give you and your child the future you hope for. We cannot place your child for adoption but can refer you to reputable, licensed adoption coordinators in our area.
Your other option is choosing to parent. You might be surprised at the assistance available as you parent your child. We can help you, too. Our client advocates will listen to your situation and offer referrals for help where needed.
It’s not uncommon for people to change their minds after making a decision. If you recently started the abortion pill regimen and have changed your mind, we can help you with abortion pill reversal.
