Gain Clarity Today

Taking a pregnancy test is the first step toward finding clarity and receiving more information. Though it doesn’t confirm a pregnancy, it can provide that initial result.

Women’s Creekside Clinics provides confidential pregnancy testing in a supportive environment. We’re here to answer your questions and help you feel reassured.

Taking a Pregnancy Test

Many women decide to test for pregnancy when they experience symptoms like nausea or vomiting, though the most common indicator of pregnancy is a missed period.

However, a woman can’t rely on symptoms alone to determine a pregnancy. For example, hormonal imbalances or a medical condition can cause certain symptoms. What’s more, if a woman’s cycle is irregular, she can’t always rely on a missed period to know when to take a test.

If you are experiencing symptoms or have recently had sexual intercourse, taking a test is a good first step. Home pregnancy tests are available at pharmacies and groceries, and they work by detecting hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels in the blood. This hormone is produced in the body and doubles every two to three days.

The best time to take a pregnancy test is a few days after a missed period or several weeks after sexual intercourse. Taking a test first thing in the morning can increase your chances of receiving an accurate result because hCG levels are most concentrated in your urine at that time.

Though home pregnancy tests can be accurate if taken correctly, following up with pregnancy testing at Women’s Creekside Clinic can provide extra peace of mind.
