Pregnancy tests check for a hormone called hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) that is produced by the embryo during pregnancy. Urine tests are quantitative tests. That means there needs to be a certain concentration of hormone present in order for the test to register positive. It is preferable to wait until your first missed period. You can test sooner but you may need to repeat the test at a later time.

False positive test results can occur for a variety of reasons. Fertility treatments, certain medical conditions, improper testing, medications and defective tests are some causes. All test results should be confirmed by a physician.

It depends on each person’s situation. We will help you explore single parenting, marriage to the baby’s father or making a plan for adoption. We can refer you to reputable adoption agencies if you would like to consider that option.

You are welcome throughout your pregnancy.

The Mentoring Moms Program is designed for pregnant women and women with a child under the age of three. We understand how difficult preparing for a baby can be, especially when he/she is unexpected. The program allows you to earn “Mommy Money” so you can obtain new and gently used childcare items, including diapers, wipes, clothing and some furnishings. Call the Center for a tour of the “store” and more information about the program.
