Pregnancy Test FAQ’s

We use urine analysis pregnancy tests only. During a pregnancy, a woman’s body produces a hormone called hCG, found in urine and blood. At PWC, you will provide a urine sample (onsite only), and we will test it for the presence of hCG.
Our tests can detect the hCG pregnancy hormone as early as one day after a missed period and positive results are 99% accurate. If you are interested in receiving an ultrasound we recommend you wait until after you miss your first monthly period.
For most accurate results, it is recommended you wait until after you miss your monthly period to avoid false negative tests. Ultrasounds are available for pregnancies between 8 and 14 weeks.
False negative test results are possible, depending on how much of the hCG pregnancy hormone your body has produced and how diluted your urine is. If you have a negative test result, but your period does not arrive, PWC recommends you return for a retest one week following your initial test.
No, PWC does not provide abortion services or referrals. We can answer questions, provide information about abortion, and listen to your concerns. We also offer pregnancy and reproductive health-related referrals.
