BASIC NEEDS
I can’t afford pregnancy testing.
Confirming pregnancy is an important step that helps you then plan your prenatal healthcare and your family’s future. Here are some ideas to ensure that you have access to affordable or no cost pregnancy testing options.
Plan ahead. If you are sexually active, you may wish to invest in both ovulation tests and pregnancy tests. Options like Easy@Home ovulation test and pregnancy test strips can be much more affordable than in store option— especially if you are a frequent tester.
Ask a trusted friend or family member to purchase a home pregnancy test for you or to provide you with one of their extras.
Most pregnancy centers offer free pregnancy testing— no questions asked. Find a center here: www.OptionLine.org
Contact your local federally qualified health center and inquire about pregnancy services. FQHCs are required to provide healthcare regardless of insurance coverage or ability to pay, and they offer sliding scale fees. You can search for affordable local healthcare options at:
