A member asked:

My period date was 12th n today is 17th but i dint get my periods yet. is it the right time to do pregnancy test? will i get to knw the crct result?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Right time: 4-5 days after a missed period is correct time to a pregnancy test. If you elect to do a home test, use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. You may wish to see your doctor for a blood test that is more sensitive.
