A member asked:

It's been six days of a missed period and i've had cramps all week as if i was on it. should i take a pregnancy test now or what's going on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take the test: When used properly, modern pregnancy tests are very accurate and can detect pregnancy as early as the first day after a missed period. Anovulatory cycles, stress, weight loss, medication, exercise, and other benign things can cause menstrual irregularity.
