Your Questions Answered
Wondering if you’re pregnant can bring up a whirlwind of emotions – anxiety, fear, hope, uncertainty, or all of the above. At ZoeCare, we understand that taking a pregnancy test is a big step, and we’re here to support you through it with compassion, confidentiality, and zero judgment. Here’s what to expect at your appointment so you can walk in feeling prepared and supported.
Before Your Appointment
Do I Need to Bring Anything? Please bring a photo ID with you so we can add it to your medical chart.
How Soon After a Missed Period Can I Get Tested? You can get tested right before your missed period or on the day you expect your period.
Do I Need to Prepare? You’ll need to be able to provide a small amount of urine for the test. No other preparation is necessary.
What If I’m Not Sure I’m Pregnant? No worries! Anyone can request pregnancy testing. Sometimes menstrual cycles aren’t very clear, and things like stress, sleep, or nutrition can affect ovulation. If you’re wondering whether you’re pregnant, we’re here to help you find out.

Your Appointment
What Type of Pregnancy Test Does ZoeCare Use? We use urine testing for pregnancy tests.
How Is the Test Done? You’ll be asked to provide a urine sample in a private bathroom. You’ll simply urinate into a cup — that’s it.
How Long Does It Take to Get Results? Results take just 3 minutes.
How Accurate Is the Test? Our tests detect HCG concentrations of 20mIU/ml and greater, making them highly accurate.
After Your Test
What Happens If the Test Is Positive? We’ll discuss the results with you and talk about your concerns, options, or anything else you’d like to discuss. What’s most important to you matters to us. Based on the nurse’s assessment, we may schedule an ultrasound to determine how far along you are and check for viability of the pregnancy.
Whatever you’re feeling as you read this – we’re here to support you, without judgment, as you figure out your next steps!
