Pregnancy tests.
by robert koop
This regular question-and-answer column on matters of sexual concern
is being published in cooperation with Counseling Services, a division
of the Office of Student Services. Questions may be mailed to Box 25,
The Daily, 420 Maynard St., or phoned into 76-GUIDE; the 24-hour
counseling and referral service.
Q. My period is late and I think I might be pregnant. How
soon can I go in for a pregnancy test? Where's the best place to
go? - S.R.
A. How late is it? If six weeks have passed since the first day
of your last period then you can get treated any time now. If it
hasn't been that long, wait until it has. If you get the test done
earlier than six weeks it isn't reliable and you might have to have
it done again.
It might not be pregnancy, you know. Nerves, stress, starting
a new semester,. even -recent travel can postpone ovulation, and
thereby postpone your period. But then again, it might be. And
getting tested is an easy way to find out for sure.
A urine test for pregnancy is available at the University Health
Service at 207 Fletcher St. It costs five dollars and is completely
confidential. You have to pay the fee in cash-this means that rec-
ords don't have to be kept for billing purposes.
HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT:
First, don't take any aspirin or tranquilizers for 24 hours be-
fore collecting the urine sample. Don't eat or drink anything after
10 p.m. the night before you take it.
First thing in the morning, before you eat or drink anything,
collect a urine sample in a thoroughly cleaned glass bottle or jar.
OK, now take that bottle over to Health Service and deliver
it upstairs to the laboratory on the second floor. If there's going to
be an hour's delay in delivering the urine (they're open for delivery
between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. Monday through Friday) you should
put it in the refrigerator.
YOU CAN LEAVE the sample with a nurse and collect the re-
sults the same day between 3:00 and 4:30 p.m. If the test is posi-
tive a doctor can further confirm it then through physical exami-
nation. This is important because the test is only 95 percent accur-
ate and false results do occur, if only occasionally.
Also, if you don't want to be pregnant, the doctor can provide
support and counsel about alternatives.
False negative results occur with the test, too, so if you have
further symptoms of pregnancy, even though the test was negative,-
you should check with a doctor-at Health Service or otherwise.
Other symptoms include nausea-in the morning or not-and
fatigue. Your breasts may feel larger and more tender and the
nipples may be especially sensitive. After two or three months of
pregnancy there may be an increased need to urinate-and sooner
or later you start putting on weight.
IF YOU'RE NOT A STUDENT, you can take your sample to
the University Hospital-Outpatient Gynecology Clinic at 8:00 a.m.
following the same procedure outlined above. There, it costs seven
dollars and seeing a doctor isn't always part of the deal. If you can,
take advantage of Health Service.
What's more effective-condoms or a.diaphragm? - F.L.
A. It depends on whether they're used properly-and it's not hard
to use either method improperly-and it depends on the motivation
of the user.
It also depends on who you talk to. Theoretically, neither me-
thod should fail if they're used properly unless there's some me-
chanical defect in the device. We all know that that isn't true, but
different researchers come up with different figures on just how
true it isn't.
Probably the most effective method for you two (I'm assuming
that this question wasn't motivated by purely intellectual curiosity)
would be the one the two of you are most comfortable with and
most skillful at using-that is, if the choice is only between con-
doms and the diaphragm.
If those aren't your only choices, and for some reason the Pill
is out, the most effective method is the condom in combination
with spermicidal foam. If THAT'S out for some reason then con-
doms and the diaphragm (with cream or jelly) are pretty much
a toss-up.

Oakland University and striking
faculty members announced yes-
terday they had reached tentative
agreement on a new contract, end-
ing one of two state colege faculty
strikes.
The university and the Americanj
Association of University Profes-

Oakland faculty, would not release
details of the settlement, pending
ratification of the agreement by
the union members and university
trustees.
Meanwhile, a strike continued
