Question 1

how reliable is a pregnancy test 5 days before period?

Accepted Answer

See details: That would depend on the test. Some tests can detect a pregnancy several days before the miss period.  The product should list how soon it is capable of detecting a pregnancy.  If you tested five days before and it's negative, then I would wait a few days and repeat it.

Question 2

pregnancy test 5 days before period. it was a early prenancy test it was a faint line but positive is this accurate?  i took another today it's same.

Accepted Answer

Probably yes!: Depending on when you conceived, it only takes 10 to 14 days for a home pregnancy test to show that faint line that you are talking about. So , it is very possible that you are pregnant. Please make an appointment with your provider to check it out!

Question 3

dark brown to black spotting before period, had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago but took plan b. what does it mean? took pregnancy test 5 days before period, resulted negative?

Accepted Answer

: Too soon to test. Re do the test after three weeks have elapsed since sex and you have missed your period. If the result is negative, redo the test 4-5 days later. Taking Plan B within 72 hours of sex has about 95% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy.

Question 4

light bleeding 5 days before period date. did not have regular period. negative pregnancy test. a lot of 
symptoms. can i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Good chance: 22 year old female light bleeding 5 days before period date. Did not have regular period. Negative pregnancy test. A lot of symptoms, asks if can still be pregnant. Good chance might be pregnant as negative pregnancy test does not always indicate absence of pregnancy. With 'lots of symptoms' might be good idea to see MD/ Gynecologist for proper evaluation.

Question 5

im on trivora.taken it well. i had cramps 2 weeks before period and now i am 1 day late taken 2 pregnancy test.1 5 days early , 1 today both negati why?

Accepted Answer

Not if negative : Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception.   If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection. After this much time clearly you are not pregnant. See your doctor for irregular periods.

Question 6

took pregnancy test two days before period and negative, could i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Please wait 3-4 days after a missed period, use first morning urine and follow the directions carefully.

Question 7

period is five days late and negative pregnancy test. could i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: if you are using standard urine pregnancy tests it is possible that they are not sensitive enough and that you are not far enough along in a pregnancy to be detected. That being said, typically negative urine preg means not pregnant, the only way to be sure is to see your doctor and have a beta quantitative HCG blood test. Best of luck.

Question 8

took pregnancy test two days before period due and is negative.  can i trust rresult?

Accepted Answer

No: If this is a regular home pregnancy test, the results will be more reliable after you've missed your period.

Question 9

10 days before period anxious to know of pregnant can i take a pregnancy test yet or is too soon?

Accepted Answer

Probably too soon: you could certainly try, but typically the test is not very reliable until you reach the days on which you expect your period.  The urine test detects a hormone that is produced in response to the pregnancy, and it takes a couple of weeks for the hormone to reach levels that are detectable in the urine.  Earliest it can be detected is usually ~2-3 weeks after conception.

Question 10

is there any point in doing pregnancy test if bleeding a few days before period due?

Accepted Answer

Not really: It will be futile and serves no purpose.
