A member asked:

I am 3 days late on my period.head is paining from yesterday.anything to concern?planning to take hpt next week.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do HPT now: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.
