Question 1

How accurate is the pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Our tests are laboratory rated and 99% accurate. Urine-based pregnancy tests detect the hCG hormone in a pregnant woman’s system. Since the production of hCG can vary greatly from woman to woman, sometimes as much as 20 fold, time periods when a “positive” test occurs can also vary. Our pregnancy tests can often detect some women’s hCG level as early as 7 days after conception (21-24 days after the first day of your last period), although some women’s hCG level is not detectable until at least one week after a missed period.

Question 2

How do I know if I am pregnant?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way to determine if you are pregnant is to take a free pregnancy test at our center. Just because your period is late doesn’t always mean you are pregnant. Stress, hormonal changes, weight gain or loss are all possible reasons for a change in your menstrual cycle. We recommend you wait until the week after your period should have started.

Question 3

When should I get an ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

An ultrasound is the next step following a positive pregnancy test. It will give you vital information such as how far along you are, if your pregnancy is viable, and if it is located in your uterus. This is information you will need to move forward. We offer free first and second trimester limited ultrasounds. Learn more about them here.

Question 6

If I'm a minor, do my parents need to know about my appointment?

Accepted Answer

In Indiana, pregnancy-related services do require parental consent for those 15 or younger. If you are between 16-17, we are able to provide pregnancy services if we are unable to contact your parent or guardian.  STI testing does not require parental consent.

Question 15

Can I have a retest if my test is negative and my period still doesn’t start?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you may be scheduled for another test. The hCG hormone concentration doubles approximately every 2.2 days during the first 3 months of pregnancy.

Question 16

Is a blood test more accurate?

Accepted Answer

A urine-based pregnancy test detects hCG hormone, whereas a blood test measures the hCG level. So yes, a blood test is more accurate. We only provides urine pregnancy tests; your physician or clinic can perform a blood test, to diagnose your pregnancy.
