A member asked:
How early can i take a beta hcg test. ..a week before my missed period or a week after to get valid results ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not too early: Hcg doesn't start to rise until the fertilized egg implants into the uterus, usually about a week before the missed period. It's best to wait until at least the missed period to ensure that, if pregnant, HCG levels are high enough to be detected.
