Pregnancy Testing 

 

Are you experiencing early pregnancy symptoms and wondering if you might be pregnant?

At We Care, we offer no-cost and confidential pregnancy tests as well as limited early ultrasounds to confirm pregnancy. Our clinic offers medical-grade pregnancy tests that provide quick and painless results during your visit. The tests detect the presence of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone that circulates in a pregnant woman’s body shortly after fertilization and is released in urine.

When To Take A Pregnancy Test

It is best to take a pregnancy test at least one week after a missed period. This is because the amount of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) present in a pregnant woman’s urine increases with time. Waiting for a week after a missed period will usually give a more accurate result. While it is possible to get a positive pregnancy result sooner, taking the test too soon increases the chances of receiving a false negative result. Many pregnant women receive a negative test result during the first few days after a missed period. Therefore, it is a good idea to repeat a negative test after a week has passed.

Home Pregnancy Tests

Taking a home pregnancy test can be nerve-wracking, but most over-the-counter tests are pretty accurate. However, keep in mind there’s a slight chance that the results could be wrong. The accuracy of the results can be impacted by various factors, such as taking the test too early or not following the instructions correctly. It is important to carefully read and follow all instructions to ensure accurate test results. If you’re still unsure or want to double-check your results, We Care Pregnancy Clinic offers free appointments for pregnancy tests to confirm your home test.
