Free and Accurate Pregnancy Testing
If you are or think you might be pregnant, your next best step is to come to Care Net Pregnancy Center for free pregnancy testing. At-home tests can be reliable, but women who are nervous about the results, tend to take them too early or incorrectly.
Our center offers free and highly-accurate pregnancy testing. You’ll get your results within five minutes.
How Do Pregnancy Tests Work?
When you get pregnant, your body begins producing a hormone called hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). This hormone tells your body you’re pregnant and to up the production of another hormone, progesterone.
The hCG hormone enters your urine and bloodstream, rapidly increasing in the first few weeks. Our pregnancy tests work by detecting hCG in your urine and are 99 percent accurate.
When Should I Take a Pregnancy Test?
Waiting to take a pregnancy test is the hardest. By waiting at least a week after your missed period, you get a more accurate test result. Your body needs time to build up enough hCG to be detected.
If your periods are normally regular, you could take the test two or three days after it should have started. If your cycle is usually irregular, waiting a full week is best.
What If My Pregnancy Test Comes Back Positive?
If your pregnancy test comes back positive and you weren’t planning on being pregnant right now, don’t panic! Before deciding what to do next, you’ll need to gather more information about your pregnancy.
Your next step is to have an ultrasound to learn more about your pregnancy. Why? Because if you’re considering abortion, you need to know the specific number of weeks you’ve been pregnant. We offer ultrasounds for free.
Ultrasound answers three important questions:
- How far along am I?
- Where is the pregnancy located?
- Is the pregnancy viable (growing)?
