How much longer should I wait to take a clinic test?

Ok so here's the deal I was suppose to start my period the second week of December but never got it so I took a test on the 15 and it came out negative so I re-took another one on the 28 and that one came out positive so I went to a clinic on the 2nd to get a confirmed answer and it came out negative that same night I took another home test and it came out positive.So I went yesterday to another clinic and that one came out negative as well.I'm so stressed right now I know the best thing is to take a blood test but I don't have insurance so how much longer should I wait to go back to the clinic?I'm already a month late.

    I would call the public health department and ask them where you can get a free blood pregnancy test. Most public health departments will give free preg tests. It's odd that both of the clinic tests came back negative. I've never heard of a false positive on a hpt though, so you can basically guarantee that you're pregnant. You probably knew that though.

    Since you don't have insurance, you should apply for Medicaid. If you qualify, all of your medical coverage and your baby's medical coverage will be covered.

    You don't need to wait to get the test done. The urine tests you took before were defective, obviously, meaning you should be able to get a positive blood test wherever you go. I don't think the blood test is that expensive, even if you do have to pay for it.

    If you do have to pay for the pregnancy care out-of-pocket, I highly recommend hiring a midwife (either for a home or a hospital birth). It can save you thousands of dollars and so long as you remain low-risk, you are more likely to have a healthy, satisfying pregnancy and birth and a healthy baby. If you become high-risk at any time, a doctor is who you would want to see, but because they're trained in problem-solving only and not in "normal," they often create problems when there isn't one to begin with. A midwife is fully trained in detecting problems and keeping a woman healthy to begin with, so they know when to refer you to a doctor.

    Good luck. Go get that test! No use waiting around.
