A member asked:

When is the best time to get the most accurate hpt result from days of unprotected sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

After missed period: The most accurate results from home pregnancy tests are if the test is taken one week after a missed period. They may become positive sooner, but this is the time when it is most accurate.
