If you think you may be pregnant and would like a free test, please call 304-622-1953 for an appointment. Life Choice offers free, confidential self-administered pregnancy tests on the premises.How accurate is the test? Our tests are laboratory rated. They can detect the hCG pregnancy hormone as early as 7 days after conception or 21 to 24 days after the first day of your last period. The test is over 99% accurate. However, Life Choice is not a medical facility. The result of your test is not a diagnosis. Only a licensed physician can make a diagnosis. Can I have a retest if my test is negative and my period doesn't start? Yes, you may be rescheduled for another test. The hCG hormone doubles every 2.2 days during the first three months of pregnancy. Should I see a doctor if I have a second negative test and have not started my period? If you have concerns about missed periods and your pregnancy test continues to be negative, you should see your health care provider for assessment. If you need resources for health care, Life Choice can provide you referrals.
