Dear Which Pregnancy Test Should I Believe?,
Pregnancy tests are usually pretty reliable. We suggest you get a pregnancy test from a doctor or a health center, where the test will be more reliable, and there will be someone to discuss your options with you in the event that you are pregnant. If you do not have a doctor and you live in Northern New Jersey, please call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at (973) 971.6475. If you live elsewhere, get in touch with your local adolescent health center or Planned Parenthood.
We hope that you are practicing safer sex, which means protecting yourself from pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted diseases.
