What Is It?
A pregnancy test confirms if a person is pregnant or not pregnant. Pregnancy tests can be purchased over-the-counter at drugstores or pregnancy tests can be done at health centers with the help of a healthcare provider.
An Example
Kendall purchased many pregnancy test kits from a drugstore and took the pregnancy tests at home. But Kendall decided to go to their health care provider to take another pregnancy test to confirm if they were pregnant or not.
