Am I pregnant?

If you think you might be pregnant, or your urine test has tested positive for pregnancy, see a doctor for a pelvic exam to confirm the pregnancy and determine how far along you are.

You can ask for a pregnancy test at any walk in clinic or at Planned Parenthood.

Don't take any drugs or medications (except birth control pills or required medications) after 7 p.m. the night before your test. Some medications can affect the results of the test. Tell the doctor if you're taking any.

On the morning of your test, consider bringing with you the first urine you pass; it's most concentrated then. Try not to drink much the night before, so that it can be as concentrated as possible.

If you find out you are not pregnant, you may choose to discuss some birth control options with your doctor. You can also find some useful info at www.planetahead.ca.
