No Insurance!

I recently graduated from college early last May, forcing me off of my parents health insurance plan. Due to no insurancce I had to go off of my BCP at the end of June. I think I'm pregnant and have not yet taken a HPT. If I do take it and its negative I will take it again later. If I take it and its positive I definetly need to see a doctor.
So here is my question. Since I dont have insurance to go to my regular doctor for a PT, does Planned Parenthood give them? If so, how much do they relatively cost?
If they don't, I need to find a new job ASAP to get full time and benefits!!!
Oh, and I've been so sick this morning/afternoon that I had to call in sick for work..... This sucks, especially if I am pregnant, I really need that money!!!
Any imput would be greatly appreciated :)

Cairo-
I do know that Planned Parenthood offers pg tests but I don't know the price off the top of my head but I do know their prices are generally on a sliding scale based off of your income.
You might want to try www.maternitycard.com if you turn out to be pg...
I have never used it myself so I don't know if it actually takes the place of insurance or IS an insurance-like program but it might be worth looking into.
HTH!

Hi Cairo....welcome to the board! I'm not really sure about Planned Parenthood, but they do have a website you might want to check out. I'm sure they have alot of detailed information on there. Also, if you just want a quick HPT, you could always get a $ tree one, they're pretty cheap (only $1) :) they're pretty accurate from what I've read, they seem to be pretty sensitive. Have you missed your period yet? If you're late, then almost any HPT should give you an accurate result.
Good luck! I hope you get the answer you're looking for when/if you test. Please keep us posted on how you're doing. And feel free to post w/any more questions you have... everyone here is usually really great about trying to help out whenever they can!
