Tips on Pregnancy Testing

Are you trying to test too soon? For most people, the pregnancy test will not become positive until approximately 2 weeks from the time of suspected conception. 

We welcome your call!  Our friendly Advice Nurses would be glad to talk to you: (510) 643-7197 or via secure message through eTang portal. If your test result is negative, repeat the pregnancy test in 1-2 weeks if you have not had a regular period. If your test result is positive,  click here for pregnancy options.
