Free and Confidential
Pregnancy Testing
If you have recently had unprotected sex and think you might be pregnant, Dakota Hope Clinic provides free, confidential pregnancy testing to help you get the answers you need.
Understanding Your Options
How It Works and Understanding Results
Pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG in urine, which begins to double every 72 hours after conception; therefore, it is important to wait at least two weeks after a missed period for the most accurate, 90% reliable result. While a missed period is a common sign, other symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and tender breasts can occur, but only a test can provide certainty. During your appointment, our compassionate staff will provide the test and discuss your results immediately to help you determine your next steps. If the test is positive, we offer a free ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy's viability and how far along you are. You are not alone in this process, and our team is here to answer your questions and discuss all of your options in a supportive environment.

How much do your services cost?
All of our core services—including lab-quality pregnancy testing, limited OB ultrasounds, and options consultations—are provided at no cost to you. We are a non-profit community resource supported by local donors, which means you never have to worry about insurance or payment.
Do I need an appointment, and is it confidential?
While we encourage you to schedule an appointment to ensure a staff member is available, we do our best to accommodate requests. Most importantly, your privacy is our priority. All services are 100% confidential, and your information will not be shared with anyone without your explicit consent.
What should I bring to my first visit?
You only need to bring a photo ID. You do not need to bring proof of insurance or any form of payment. If you are coming for a pregnancy test, try to drink plenty of water before you arrive.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. We understand that having a support system is important. You are welcome to bring a friend, partner, or family member with you. We also offer specific support and resources for men who are navigating an unplanned pregnancy alongside their partner.
Do you provide or refer for abortions?
Dakota Hope Clinic provides accurate, evidence-based information on all your options, including abortion, adoption, and parenting. However, we do not perform or refer for abortions.
