A member asked:

I'm 7 days late for my period is it too soon to test ?

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Not too soon: 7 days late on period is definitely not too soon, although sometimes if ovulation was delayed the period may come later than expected. Test again in a few days if your period doesn't start.
