Pregnancy Testing

You do not have to wait for a missed period to find out if you are pregnant!

With over the counter pregnancy tests, you have to wait until you have missed your period. Pregnancy Help offers a three minute, free pregnancy test that can detect the presence of hCG, the hormone that indicates pregnancy, 7-8 days after implantation of the fertilized egg.

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
