Planned Parenthood
Posted: 11-07-04 08:12am

Is it possible to get a blood test done at planned parenthood while paying in cash? And if so, do any of you know around how much that would be? I am also over 18. My local planned parenthood accepts walkins for pregnancy testing, does that include the blood test for pregnancy?

Thanks so much,
jenn

Sorry jenn, I have no idea! I'm not a big fan of planned parenthood, but I would suggest getting on their website or calling them for further information!

Oh gosh, that's kind of high!! I was hoping somewhere around $100 or maybe even less.. I guess i'm going to go call them.. It just seems like when I do it's always a computer picking up the phone!.. But thanks

I have the same problem.. I read on the one closest to me, in maryland that it costs something like $250.00 or more to have an abortion.. I can't imagine the blood test being close to that. Had anyone ever actually gotten it done there or know the price for sure?

Okay thank you, I am going tomorrow, it said they accept walkins. Does it cost anything to become a member?

If I were pregnant I would be 5 weeks. I always use protection such has condoms and the pullout method so I think I will be fine. I just want to get tested because my period hasnt come yet. It is never regular though.

I have taken three pregnancy tests, all negative. I am also 18.

Also do you know if you can pay with cash? That's all I can really pay with. I do not have my own healthcare.

Thanks so much!! I did try calling but they are closed today... However they are open tomorrow and do accept walkins for pregnancy testing.

Right now I am $250.00 but I am definitely hoping it will not be that much. That just seems really high.

I am also hoping they accept cash. I do not have my healthcare.

My parents will open mail to me even if it doesnt say planned parenthood on it

I went to a regular doc's office and it costed me 175.00. I think if you tell planned parenthood not to send you anything by mail that they might respect your wishes. Maybe if you pay up they can works something out.

Well even if they do try to send me anything i'm going to give them my boyfriend's address since he has his own house.. So hopefully everything will work out Smile ...

Right now I can spend $150.00 on it but from what I read they offer abortions for not much more than that so i'm hoping the actual blood test will be less.

I have been getting nothing but negative urine tests and I would be 5 weeks pregnant if I was.

I'm not gaining any weight at all or showing. I'm not experiencing really any symptoms.

Yes I am planning on keeping it. I am not against abortion but I don't think I could go through with one. I'll know tomorrow though!!
