getting tested if your pregnant
My girlfriend and I live togehter and we both believe she is pregnant. She was told by her doctor years ago that she has endometriosis and that she coold not have kids. We had a scare several months back. She took 5 at home pregnancy test. 3 came back positive and 2 were negative. 2 weeks later she had her monthly cycle. She is now late again 2 months. She again has taken at home tests. All 5 have come back positive. We are pretty certain that she is but need a doctors blessing before we tell our families. Problem is that she has no insurance until mid January 06'. We cannot go through the holidays without letting our parents know. Do you know of any places close to or in Geneva IL. where we can get a doctors exam that will not cost us over $100. I have called several OBGYN offices and with no insurance it will cost atleast $135-$175.00.

you should check with planned parenthood i believe they are located all across the united states good luck and sometimes when a woman is close to the day her cycle starts her bodys hormones will be high and indicate pregnant on a test when its not. but being that shes late i would definitly check with a doctor. also is she normally irregular?

Go the local health department or planned parenthood office. Some cities also have pregnancy clinics. Most should be able to offer you free or low-cost testing so you can be sure. If she is pregnant, they can also help with prenatal care until her insurance starts. Good luck.

If she already has a doctor she sees, she can ask if she can get a urine pregnancy test. Usually, if she has seen the doctor within the year, she can just go in and have the lab work done. No office call charge. No exam.
The exam can probably wait a month if need be. Unless she is having problems.
I would check the local phone book for a free clinic,or health department. Most health departments can run the test for you.
If all that fails, 135-175$ would be a good Christmas gift to each other. Split the cost and you know, and all you'll have to do is buy a couple of cards and the parents gifts are taken care of too.
Best of luck to you both. :)
