Receive Free Pregnancy Testing In Teller County

We recommend waiting to take a pregnancy test after you've noticed you have missed your period for the most accurate results. This is because your body needs time to produce enough of the pregnancy hormone (hCG) that the test can detect.

If you're really eager to find out, tests can typically be taken earlier, up to 6 days before your missed period, but the results may be less accurate. Medical grade tests, like you would receive at our clinic, offer a more accurate picture since they can typically detect pregnancy earlier than an at home test. 

If you are unsure when you possibly conceived or have an irregular period, we can help. Make an appointment or text with a nurse 24/7 at (719) 694-3201 for help navigating some of those difficult questions. 

The key differences between at-home pregnancy tests and the medical-grade tests we provide are accuracy, sensitivity, and verification.

Our medical-grade test is very accurate and can often detect pregnancy earlier than home tests. Plus, we offer options counseling and, for those that apply, an ultrasound to verify results and determine conception dates.

Yes, a few things can affect the result of a pregnancy test:

1. Testing Too Early: If you test before your missed period, the test might not detect enough of the pregnancy hormone yet, which can lead to a false negative.

2. Diluted Urine: If you drink a lot of water before taking the test, your urine might be too diluted, which can make it harder for the test to find the hormone.

3. Expired Test: Using a test that’s past its expiration date can give incorrect results.

4. Incorrect Use: Not following the instructions carefully, like not waiting long enough before reading the result, can also affect accuracy.

5. Certain Medications: Some medicines can affect the test results, so it’s good to check with a doctor if you’re taking any medications.

These are all topics that we can discuss and help prevent when you receive a no-cost pregnancy test at our center. A medical professional will assist you throughout the testing process to verify that your results are accurate.
