Pregnancy Testing
If you think you may be unexpectedly pregnant, it can be a lot to process. You might be feeling scared, confused, or simply overwhelmed. At the PRC of West Plains, we know how important it is to have results you can trust. We offer free and confidential pregnancy testing to any woman who thinks she may be facing an unplanned pregnancy.
I TOOK A PREGNANCY TEST AT HOME. WHY SHOULD I BE TESTED AGAIN?
Home pregnancy tests continue to improve in their accuracy as technology advances, but several variables may affect your results. For a test to give you an accurate result, it must be taken correctly and at the right time. Tests that are administered incorrectly have a much higher likelihood of providing a false result. At the PRC of West Plains, we offer lab-quality pregnancy tests that are administered by a nurse.
Our nurse can also help you know if it is the right time to take a test. Based on your estimated conception date and other information, our nurse can advise you on the best time to take a pregnancy test to get the most accurate reading.
Approximately 10-25% of all pregnancies will end in miscarriage, so it is important to schedule an ultrasound to confirm your pregnancy and determine its viability.
