Whittier Pregnancy Care Clinic
PREGNANCY TESTS: Laboratory Quality Urine Test
What to expect  
We recommend you make an appointment, but we do welcome walk-ins (if you walk-in and an appointment is scheduled, we will take the appointment first.)”

Please come with a full bladder since we use a urine test.    Bring a picture id (if you don't have one we will ask you to fill out a few security questions to ensure your confidentiality and bring your medi-cal card if you have one.

The intake will take around 45 min to an hour, sometimes longer depending on the circumstances.  You may bring anyone you would like to the appointment. 

Tests are given at the end of the intake.  All options are discussed after test results.
Results  
We will discuss with you all of your options after results are given.  If you have questions for our nurses they will be available to answer any questions you have.  Confidentiality is extremely important to WPCC.  We will not give information over the phone or if someone walks in asking for client information without checking the identity of our clients first.



  When to take a test:  
We recommend you take a test when you have missed a period.  If a test is taken too early it can produce a false negative, which means the hormone level is not strong enough to be detected on the pregnancy test and it could read negative.  Yet, in a few weeks your test will show positive when the hormone is strong enough.

According to the manufacturer’s label our tests are 99% accurate.  We do not offer blood tests at our facility.  If you need a referral to a low cost medical clinic to assist you with that please call us or email us.

If you have an irregular period and don't know the last time you had a period recommend you call a nurse and discuss this with her at (562)902-CARE (2273) or email her at wpccnurse@gmail.com
