It seems like it should be easy, right? But taking a pregnancy test is scary, especially if you had no intention of becoming pregnant now. Even if you’ve taken an at-home test, have your results confirmed with our free and confidential pregnancy testing.

When is the best time to take a pregnancy test?

When your menstrual cycle runs like clockwork (approximately every 28 – 32 days), you can usually take a pregnancy test a day or two after your missed period. If your cycle is irregular or you haven’t tracked it accurately, we suggest waiting at least 5 to 7 days after your period should have started.

By waiting longer, you get more accurate results.

How does a pregnancy test work?

Pregnancy tests detect the pregnancy hormone known as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine. A woman’s body begins producing this “pregnancy hormone” right after a fertilized egg attaches to the wall of a woman’s uterus.

The levels of hCG rise quickly, doubling every 2 to 3 days. The woman is pregnant if the pregnancy test finds hCG in her urine.

At-Home Pregnancy Tests

A positive at-home pregnancy test may leave you wondering if you got the correct results or what you should do next. Some women take the over-the-counter tests too early or don’t completely follow the directions.

If you’ve already had a positive test, you need results you can trust. Confirm your results with free pregnancy testing from us.

It’s Positive. Now What?

Seeing a positive test result can be extremely overwhelming, especially if your pregnancy is unplanned. Don’t panic. We offer support and information to help you process your next steps.

A positive pregnancy test only indicates the possibility of pregnancy. You need an ultrasound to confirm your pregnancy is viable (developing).
