The Nerve-Wracking Test

Keely and Jamie, young but determined, bought several home pregnancy test kits and set aside a day to take them together. Despite their optimism, the first test was negative, leaving them puzzled. Hoping for a different result, they tried another kit, but it was negative again.

This news was alarming, suggesting Keely’s condition might be more serious than they thought, possibly even a miscarriage. According to Mayo Clinic, between 10 and 20 percent of early pregnancies end in that. Realizing the gravity of the situation, they knew a doctor’s appointment was their next step to uncover what was happening.
