Question 1

is 3 weeks to early to take a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

It depends: If you mean 3 weeks from your last period, then yes it is too early.  If you mean 3 weeks from when you think you conceived then a test could be positive but a negative test would not definitely rule out pregnancy.

Question 2

how early can you take a pregnancy test and find out for sure?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant?: Obtain a home pregnancy test.  They turn positive at about the time you'd be ready to start your next expected period. If negative, repeat in 1 week and call your doctor.

Question 3

how can you tell if your pregnant but its to early to take a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

See below.: The earliest pregnancy test you can take is a quantitative blood test.  It can detect HCG 8-9 days after fertilization of the egg.  If it shows a level less than 25, then it is equivocal and might need to be repeated in a couple of days.  Visit your doctor if there is concern.

Question 4

is 8dpo to early to take a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

No.: This is just the right time, and it can be done later also.

Question 5

i'm 5 dpo is it to early to take a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Too early: Try to wait a few more days. Even the most sensitive tests are only accurate about 8 days after conception. Most tests are very accurate around the time of a missed period. So i usually recommend waiting until your period was supposed to come before testing.

Question 6

is 11dpo too early to take a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

After missed period: You may take the test, but if it is negative, that will not rule our pregnancy. It is better to wait 4-5 past the missed period, use first morning urine and follow the instructions in the kit carefully.

Question 7

is 9 dpo too early to take a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It takes 10-14 days post-fertilizaton for pregnancy test to be positive. It is better to do home pregnancy test 4-5 days after a missed period. The test may be positive sooner, but a negative test done too soon does not rule out pregnancy.

Question 8

when is it too early to take a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Before your late: Don't waste money on a pregnancy test before your period is late.  But if you are even a day late and you normally have regular cycles, it is reasonable to take one.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Usually: For a home pregnancy test that detected HCG in the urine.  But if you have a blood test drawn, they are positive much earlier -- although usually only after several days.

Question 10
