A member asked:

Im 1day late of period. can i take pregnant test and get a reliable result? pls help thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes!: By all means if you are late for a period take a test. Tests are typically positive 10-14 days after a sexual encounter, so if you are 1 month and 1 day late, yours would definitely be positive (assuming you didn't naturally skip a period). Results are very reliable.
