A member asked:
When should someone test for pregnancy: before or after their expected period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood or urine test?: A blood betaHCG pregnancy test performed by an accredited laboratory can be positive 10 to 12 days after fertilization i.e. several days before "expected period". Most "home pregnancy kits" and urine pregnancy tests performed on first morning urine specimens will be useful a week or so after a missed period.
