Pregnancy Testing
Choose Options for free pregnancy testing and consultation.
For most women, the first visit to our clinic is to receive a free pregnancy test. During this appointment you will meet with one of our registered nurses. After a brief medical history, a nurse will perform a pregnancy test. Our tests are laboratory rated urine tests which means you don’t have to worry about a blood draw and you will have the results within minutes.
If your pregnancy test is positive, the nurse will offer education regarding all your options. You may be eligible for an ultrasound to confirm your pregnancy. You will have the opportunity to explore the pros and cons of all your options, take all the time needed to ask any questions you have, and learn about the comprehensive community network of resources available to you.

Ask the Nurse
How accurate is the test? +
Our urine pregnancy tests are the same kind used by hospitals and other medical clinics. They can detect the hCG pregnancy hormone as early as 7 days after conception or 21 to 24 days after the first day of your last period. The test is over 99% accurate.
Can I have a retest if my test is negative and my period doesn’t start? +
Yes, you may be rescheduled for another test. The hCG hormone doubles every 48 to 72 hours during the early weeks of pregnancy.
What should I do if the second test is negative? +
Many things can contribute to an irregular menstrual cycle. If you have concerns about missed periods and your pregnancy test continues to be negative, you should see your health care provider for a checkup. If you need resources for health care, Options can give you referrals.
