Pregnancy Tests
How accurate is the test?
Our tests are laboratory rated. The sensitivity
of our Pregnancy test is 20mIU/ml, and was found
to have higher sensitivity and specificity than
the commercially available test kit used for
comparison. 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 2.2 days during
the first three months of pregnancy.
Should I see a doctor if I have a second
negative test and have not started my period?
If you have concerns about missed periods and
your pregnancy test continues to be negative,
you should see your health care provider for
assessment. If you need resources for health
care, CPRC can provide you referrals.
What Now ?
The test is positive. Breathe. You are not
alone. It is important that you don’t rush into
anything, but take time to make a well educated
decision. You have choices. Some of the choices
you might feel don’t apply to you, but you need
to look at the long term effects of the choice
you will make. Decisions made hastily can be
regretted later on.
The Pregnancy Centre is here to help you sort
through your thoughts, call us today.
