How Long Does It Take to Get Accurate Pregnancy Testing?
If you think you might be pregnant, waiting for answers can feel overwhelming. Taking a pregnancy test can bring clarity, but timing matters—testing too early can lead to inaccurate results.
At Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we provide free, lab-quality pregnancy testing in a confidential, supportive environment. Our team is here to offer accurate information and compassionate care as you navigate your next steps.
Free Pregnancy Testing in Kootenai County
At-home pregnancy tests detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, but testing too soon can result in a false negative. Lab-quality pregnancy tests, like those offered at Open Arms, can detect pregnancy as early as 10 days after conception, but waiting a few extra days ensures a more reliable result.
To increase accuracy, we recommend:
✅ Testing 3-4 days after your missed period (if you have a regular cycle)
✅ Waiting up to a week if your periods are irregular
✅ Scheduling a confirmatory ultrasound if your test is positive
If you suspect you may be pregnant, we encourage you to schedule a free lab-quality pregnancy test at Open Arms Real Choices Clinic. While walk-ins are welcome, appointments ensure you receive care at your preferred time.
