How do I obtain a pregnancy test?

I would like to get a pregnancy test done but I'd rather not buy one b/c around here everyone knows everyone and I'd like not to have to explain it to anyone. How do I set up a doctors appointment? And without having to talk to my mom. Or how can I pick one up without being too conspicuous.

How do I obtain a pregnancy test?
You should be able to go to the doctor without telling your mom. Your doctor is obligated to keep your visit confidential.
Reply:Are you under 18 and on your mom's insurance? If you are, you can just go get a pregnancy test at the grocery store.
Reply:You can try planned parenthood or a health center out of town.





Planned parenthood only asks for a donation and you don't have to give them any insurance information.





Also, if you want to pick up a test without anyone knowing go out of town to a store like CVS or Walgreens





Here is Planned Parenthood's website:

Reply:Just call a doctor and make an appointment. You don't even have to see an OB/GYN. Your regular doctor can do one too.
Reply:You sound young.... If you go to school, you can go to the nurse. She can give you one. Nobody has to know what you're doing there. If you see a regular doctor you can call and schedule an appointment. The receptionist will ask you what it's for. You can either tell her or say "it's personal" your choice. You can also go to your local public health office or planned parenthood. Good luck.
Reply:Call Planned Parenthood. The often have them for free, depending on your income. They are 100% confidential.
Reply:um go to a drugstore. or better yet, get a friend to buy it for u and go to her house to take it. then nobody will know except for her.
Reply:be sure and wait awhile (like 2 weeks) before you take a test..you wont get an accurate result if you do it too soon.
Reply:if your town has a free clinic then go there and they will be confidential. if not then have a friend buy u one
Reply:do you have a planned parenthood or a cricis pregnancy center in your area? look it up on the internet, they give free pregnancy tests.
Reply:You could order one online. It might take a couple of days to get to you but at least it would be sealed up.





Also to elaborate on some of the above answers, if you go to the doc and are on your parents insurance it will show up on their insurance statement that they did a pregnancy test or at least that they did a "lab" in which case you mom will probably be suspicious.
Reply:you can buy one at the dollartree same ones the doctor uses and they work just as good as the expensive ones.
