Question 1

how long after a missed period can i take a test? took 2 before i missed it , both were negative.

Accepted Answer

Can I be pregnant: It is not recommended to take home pregnancy tests before one misses the period after possible impregnation. But, now that you have missed your period it is time to do a home pregnancy test.

Question 2

how long after a missed period can i take a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Immediately: If you have regular monthly cycles, a pregnancy test will be positive by the time your period is due.  A pregnancy test is positive as early as ten days after conception - and conception occurs within 24 hours of ovulation.  Since you ovulate about 14 days before your period, a pregnancy test could be positive about 4 days before your period is due.

Question 3

havent had period since september ive been having sharp pains in my pelvis right side once in while i have to pee a lot pregnacy test negative lower back pain. very tired all the time ive never missed period longer than 2 weeks what could it be?

Accepted Answer

: You should see your gynecologist so that you can be examined as the first step to diagnosing your symptoms. Occasionally, there is a cycle where ovulation does not occur and a period is missed. A blood test can be done to determine if you are pregnant or not-the home pregnancy test may be incorrect. So, see your gyn doctor for diagnosis/treatment. Best of luck to you!

Question 4

how long after a missed period do you take a pregpregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Preg test: You can start testing right after you are sure you have missed your period.

Question 5

how long after a missed period should a preg test be taken? and can having sex during that time affect the result?

Accepted Answer

Home test: A home pregnancy test is reliable 1-2 days before the expected period; there is no need to wait longer. If your periods are not regular you might do better waiting until  couple of days after the missed period. Good wishes

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: very unlikely, check another test in  a week if unsure

Question 7

how soon is a blood hcg test should be done after a missed period?

Accepted Answer

After there is a...: After there is a question about the reliability of a urine pregnancy test, one can do a blood pregnancy test. If the urine test result looks accurate (they are very accurate 1 week after missing a regular period, or 3 weeks after sex), a blood test is not needed. Sometimes, blood tests are done to see if the bHCG level is going up or down, and by how much between test days.

Question 8

if i had unprotected a week before my period was supposed to start, and took a test would it be accurate? technically a week and a half after sex, but after a missed period?

Accepted Answer

: If a period is delayed due to pregnancy it would usually test positive. However, urine pregnancy tests are seldom positive before 2 weeks after exposure. Early tests can be falsely negative. Some normal women skip a cycle or 2 occasionally.

Question 9

how many days after a missed period should i get a blood test for pregbancy?

Accepted Answer

Same day: You can wait longer but a serum (blood) test is reliable even a day or two before the expected missed period.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Nothing: One episode of scant bleeding which resolved is not clinically significant and no conclusions should be made after a one time event.
