Questions about Pregnancy Tests

How soon after a missed period can I have a test?

Immediately - the latest tests are very sensitive

Can I have a test before a missed period?

Yes.

Do I need to bring a first morning urine specimen?

If possible yes as this will provide the most accurate result.

Is there a charge for this test?

No.

Can I have a negative test and still be pregnant?

Nowadays pregnancy tests are very sensitive and a ‘false negative’ is very unlikely unless it is a very early pregnancy. It may occur very occasionally with some tests: if in doubt you can have a second test two or three days later.
