In the moment that a woman is sitting on her bathroom floor, pregnancy test in one hand, a timer set for three minutes in the other, there are a thousand questions running through her mind. Did I take the test too soon? Is this test reliable? How common is a false negative? I can only afford one test, what if it comes back inconclusive?
When a woman takes a pregnancy test, she needs to know that she is getting her results from a trustworthy source. So, let’s talk about how to know if a pregnancy test is reliable.

Many centers, including Hands of Hope Tucson, also offer STI testing and ultrasounds depending on the results of a client’s pregnancy test.
