Frequently Asked Questions

What About Pregnancy Symptoms?

They vary from woman to woman, but according to the Mayo Clinic the most common symptoms are:

Missed period
Fatigue
Frequent urination
Breast tenderness/changes
Nausea (so-called “morning sickness” that can happen any time of day)

If you suspect you might be pregnant, let us help you with the first step – a pregnancy test.

What If I Have Already Taken An At-Home Pregnancy Test?

Whether your result was positive or negative, you’re welcome to come in for a backup test with our medical grade pregnancy test – which may be more sensitive than your over-the-counter test. It’s accurate, fast, and free. Or you’re welcome to simply come in and explore how we can help you.

Can Birthright Provide Me A Positive Pregnancy Test Verification Form For HUSKY?

Yes, we are happy to do so. We can help you navigate the application process too.

Do I Have To Wait Until My Period Is Late?

No. Birthright’s pregnancy test is extremely sensitive and can give an accurate result as early as 7 days following conception. You want to know ASAP; come for a free pregnancy test and get peace of mind.

How Long Does It Take?

Results are available in minutes. Our tests are completed on-site.

What Type Of ID/Paperwork Do I Need To Bring?

Thank you for being there from day one of my pregnancy. If it weren’t for you, my boyfriend and I probably would’ve made the wrong decision. I really appreciate the help and the information that was really important for me to know.

From the time when I was unsure of my pregnancy until after my pregnancy you’ve encouraged me and assured me that everything will work out.

I never wanted an abortion but I might have had one had it not been for you. You made a difference in my life.

I am so happy that I am going to have a beautiful son. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t been there for me. You were there for me when no one else was.

Thank you for all of your help and encouragement during my pregnancy. It was the most difficult time of my life. I am so grateful I did not take the “easy” way out of a tough situation by having an abortion.

I just want to thank you for all you have done for me. I could not have done it on my own and I really appreciate the help you gave. I think it is a great thing you’re doing.

I write this short note thanking you guys for your support. Your support has really helped me along the way. Knowing that someone cared enough to call and wonder about me really made me feel good.

Thank you for taking the time to care and make that call that always made my day. Thank you a million times.

I don’t remember what was said on my visit to Birthright, but I do remember one thing: RELIEF. I think I actually smiled that night. At the time, my world was coming to an end. After coming to Birthright, a strength filled me. That is making a difference!

Thank you for being there since day one when I did my pregnancy test. It is nice to know there are still good people around. I can’t thank you enough for your support.
