Pregnancy Testing Services

Urine

Hillcrest offers free, confidential urine pregnancy testing for any woman whose menstrual period is two weeks late. Appointments are available Monday through Friday mornings with results available the same afternoon.

If your test is positive, Hillcrest's counseling staff can discuss your pregnancy with you. Just call (757)480-2800. We'll help you explore all your options and provide referral sources including abortion, adoption, and prenatal care.

If your test is negative, you may still be pregnant. Reasons for false negatives can include:
- Your pregnancy is very early, within the first six weeks of conception.
- Your pregnancy is ectopic - the pregnancy is in the fallopian tube.
- A low level of a hormone called HCG results in the pregnancy being undetected.

If your test result is negative but you continue to experience symptoms of pregnancy -- missed or lighter periods, breast tenderness, nausea, or fatigue -- return to Hillcrest in two weeks for another urine test or a blood test.

Blood

Hillcrest also offers an early blood serum pregnancy test which may be performed as early as 10-14 days after unprotected intercourse. The blood test is 98% effective. Results may be obtained the same day. The fee for the blood test is $20.

If your test is positive, Hillcrest's counseling staff can discuss your pregnancy with you. Just call (757)480-2800. We'll help you explore all your options and provide referral sources including abortion, adoption, and prenatal care.

If you want to confirm a positive or negative pregnancy test, you can make an appointment for a pelvic exam or a sonogram.
