Free, Confidential Pregnancy Testing |
Pregnancy begins when the male's sperm fertilizes or joins with the female's ovum (egg). The average duration of pregnancy is 38-42 weeks and is divided into 3 trimesters: 1 day-12 weeks; 13-26 weeks; and 26 weeks-birth.
You might be pregnant if:
- You have missed one or more menstrual periods
- Your breasts are swollen and/or tender
- You are nauseated or have had a change in appetite
- You are tired or dizzy
- You have to urinate more often
- You have recently gained or lost weight
Pregnancy Testing at Women's Hope:
- The test we use is a urine test to determine HCG levels sufficient to indicate pregnancy.
- The test may be positive as early as 10-12 days after conception. It is important that you know the start date of your last period when you come in.
- You will provide a urine sample at the time of your pregnancy test. You do not need to bring a specimen with you when you come.
- We will provide you with a pregnancy verification.
- We take walk-ins for Pregnancy Tests Monday-Friday from 9-11 am & 1-4 pm. If you walk-in at any point & we are unable to see you at that time from there we will then schedule you an appointment. For more information, call 502-7000.
