Could My Pregnancy Test Be Wrong?
If you suspect you might be pregnant, the first thing you may do is run to the store and buy a home pregnancy test. But how reliable is that test? If it comes back negative, does that mean you’re definitely not pregnant? What if it shows a positive result—can you trust it?
At Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we understand the uncertainty that comes with an unexpected pregnancy. That’s why we offer a free pregnancy test for unplanned pregnancy, along with medical confirmation and compassionate support—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
How Accurate Are Home Pregnancy Tests?
Most at-home pregnancy tests claim to be 99% accurate, but several factors can affect the results:
✔ Testing Too Early – If you take a pregnancy test before your missed period, your hCG levels (the pregnancy hormone) may not be high enough to detect, leading to a false negative.
✔ Incorrect Test Use – Not following the instructions properly (checking too soon or too late, using diluted urine, or misreading results) can lead to inaccurate results.
✔ Chemical Pregnancy – If a pregnancy does not implant properly or results in an early miscarriage, you may get a false positive.
✔ Ectopic Pregnancy – A home pregnancy test cannot detect if your pregnancy is ectopic (located outside the uterus), which can be dangerous and requires immediate medical attention.
If you’ve taken a home pregnancy test and are unsure of the result, the best next step is to get a lab-quality pregnancy test for confirmation.
Free Pregnancy Test for Unplanned Pregnancy
At Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we offer:
✔ Free lab-quality pregnancy testing
✔ Fast, confidential results
✔ Compassionate, judgment-free support
If your test is positive, we may offer a limited obstetric ultrasound to:
✔ Confirm pregnancy viability
✔ Ensure the baby is properly implanted in the uterus (not ectopic)
✔ Determine how far along you are
✔ Check for a fetal heartbeat
Ultrasounds provide 100% accuracy in confirming pregnancy because they offer visual confirmation rather than relying solely on hormone levels. This information is critical, especially for women who are considering their options.
