Pregnancy Testing
We offer lab-quality pregnancy testing. Shady Grove Pregnancy Center is open Monday – Saturday. In most cases, same-day appointments are available. Please plan to allow an hour for your appointment. Services are always free and confidential.
Urine Pregnancy Tests
Urine-based pregnancy tests measure the presence of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), a hormone produced by the placenta. Click here for detailed information about how HCGs indicate the likelihood of pregnancy.
Pregnancy Test Verification
We offer pregnancy verifications which are determined by the date of your last menstrual period (LMP). This pregnancy verification is the official document that serves as the proof of pregnancy for community agencies that provide services like Medicaid, the W.I.C. program, and the Montgomery County Health Department.
If you think you might be pregnant, schedule your confidential appointment today.

Many women purchase pregnancy test kits to use at home. If you have signs
or symptoms of pregnancy, you may have already taken a home test. And you
may be wondering about the accuracy or effectiveness of the test. We highly
recommend that you confirm your results as part of your pregnancy test
appointment at Shady Grove Pregnancy Center. Call now for an appointment
or request one online.
Home Pregnancy Tests are 97% accurate when used properly. Before using a
home pregnancy test, ensure that the expiration date has not passed. Having
a pregnancy test performed at a medical facility ensures the most accurate
results. However, pregnancy and viability cannot be confirmed until an
ultrasound is performed and the results verified.
Depending on how you administer the test and how far along your pregnancy
is developed, there is a small chance the result may not be correct. Although
rare, there is a possibility that your test result is reflecting the wrong answer. A
false positive occurs when the test gives a positive pregnancy result, but you
are not pregnant. A false negative occurs when the test gives a negative
pregnancy result when you are pregnant.
The most common pregnancy signs and symptoms are listed below. If you have been sexually active and are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to take a pregnancy test.
- Delayed/Missed Period
- Swollen/Tender Breasts
- Unexplained Fatigue/Tiredness or Dizziness
- Nausea or Vomiting
- Backache
- Headache
- Food Cravings/Aversions
