Specializes in Psychiatry

Pregnancy Test?: That depends on how long your menstrual cycle is. Try testing if you miss your menstrual cycle and have been sexually active.

Yes...: You can test for pregnancy by this time. If negative and still with no period follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and testing as necessary.
