A member asked:

Is 9 dpo too early to take a pregnancy test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It takes 10-14 days post-fertilizaton for pregnancy test to be positive. It is better to do home pregnancy test 4-5 days after a missed period. The test may be positive sooner, but a negative test done too soon does not rule out pregnancy.
