What is pregnancy testing?

Do you think you might be pregnant? Pregnancy testing is a common Primary Care service used to confirm or rule out pregnancy.
Pregnancy testing detects the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine or blood. This hormone is produced during pregnancy and can usually be detected shortly after a missed period.

Common Symptoms

  • Missed or late menstrual period
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Breast tenderness
  • Fatigue
  • Increased urination
  • Abdominal bloating

When to see a Primary Care Provider

  • Have a missed period or pregnancy symptoms
  • Receive a positive home test and need confirmation
  • Have an unclear or inconclusive test result
  • Need guidance on next steps or prenatal care

Early detection is important for managing the condition and preventing further complications.
