Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Late period: Late or missed period is the first, and the only completely reliable sign before a positive HCG test. After a positive test, very few signs but many symptoms are reported. In my patient population, i've noticed that fatigue and need for more sleep are the earliest consistent reports.
