An unexpected pregnancy test result, whether positive or negative, can feel emotional. You might be trying to process what the result means and how to talk to the people closest to you about it.
It’s normal to feel unsure about how your partner or friend might respond. One step that can help is getting pregnancy confirmation first, so you can feel confident about your results.
Sound Choices Pregnancy Clinic provides no-cost pregnancy testing and limited ultrasounds to confirm and understand how the pregnancy is developing.

Get Pregnancy Confirmation
If you’ve taken an at-home pregnancy test and received a result, you may not see the need to confirm it.
However, you may have gotten a false negative result if you tested too early, if your period still hasn’t arrived after taking the test or you are experiencing early pregnancy symptoms.
There is also a rare chance of a false positive result, which can occur after a recent pregnancy loss due to lingering hCG levels in the body.
Getting a follow-up pregnancy test at Sound Choices Pregnancy Clinic and a limited ultrasound can confirm important details about your pregnancy.
Think About How You Feel First
Before talking to your partner or friend, take time to understand how you feel about your results first. You might feel a range of different emotions, from sadness to excitement or uncertainty.
Give yourself some time to sit with the news and reflect. At Sound Choices, we can provide you with a safe and confidential environment to talk about your concerns and understand your feelings.
Give Them Time
Choosing the right time and setting for a conversation like this matters. You might want to talk about your results in a private location if you feel more comfortable or in a public setting if you feel worried about how they might react.
If you ever feel unsafe sharing your results with your partner, set boundaries to protect yourself. If you have concerns about your safety, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential guidance.
It’s also important to understand that people’s initial reactions often may not reflect how they truly feel. They may need time to get over the shock of the news and work through their thoughts and feelings. Giving them space after you share your results can help.
