A member asked:

I'm 5 dpo is it to early to take a pregnancy test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too early: Try to wait a few more days. Even the most sensitive tests are only accurate about 8 days after conception. Most tests are very accurate around the time of a missed period. So i usually recommend waiting until your period was supposed to come before testing.
