The result of your pregnancy test will be given to you only. Therefore, when you call for the result, we will ask for specific information as a means of identification to insure your confidentiality. Please do not ask your friends or relatives to call for you.

POSITIVE RESULT

1. If you have decided to continue with the pregnancy please start your prenatal care now. Call your physician to set up an appointment at your earliest convenience. If you do not have a physician, we will provide you with information about obstetricians in your area.

2. In the event that you are unsure of your options,we will be happy to schedule an appointment for you to talk with one of our counselors at no cost to you. We will do our best to provide you with information to help you determine what will be best for you under your special circumstances.

3. Should you decide to terminate the pregnancy, please call us to schedule an appointment. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the procedure and any other appropriate concerns.

NEGATIVE RESULT

1. If your test result is negative, we suggest you have the test repeated in two weeks if your period has not started. During that time period, you should use a method of birth control, such as foam and condoms, to prevent a possible unplanned pregnancy.

2. REMEMBER:

-In order for the urine pregnancy test to be accurate, it must be done no earlier than 45 days from the first day of your last normal period.

-If you had the early urine test performed and the result was negative, have the regular urine test done in 45 days after your last normal period.

-When you are unsure of the date of your last period, have the early urine test repeated in two weeks.

REMEMBER

1. No test is 100% accurate.

2. If you have had two negative test results, you should schedule an appointment to be examined by the doctor to determine the possible reasons for missing a period. The pelvic exam is the only means to determine the stage of your pregnancy. He will advise you at that time of the follow-up care that you may need.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about the pregnancy test or you are unsure of your results. We will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
