You : You can take a pregnancy test as it is already past your date that your period was due. If it is negative but you still don't get your period, wait 2-3 days and take another test. If you still don't get it, see a health care provider and they can do a blood pregnancy test which is more accurate than urine tests. It is better to find out early if you are pregnant, so please be seen if you still don't get your period.

The : The only way to know whether you are pregnant or not is to take a test. As doctors, the first thing we do when we hear a woman is having a light or missed period or abnormal spotting, we check a pregnancy test. You can either take a home pregnancy test as long as it has been 5- 6 weeks since your last normal period, or you can go see your doctor and they can test you. A home pregnancy test is 97% accurate if taken a week or more after the missed period. A blood test can tell if you are pregnant as soon as 7 days after conception and a doctor's urine pregnancy test can tell if you are pregnant around when you next period should come. There are other reasons besides pregnancy that can cause a woman to miss a period such as: stress, diet, excessive exercise or a hormone imbalance such as with a thyroid disorder or poly cystic ovarian syndrome. If your pregnancy test is negative and you continue to not have your period, you should contact your doctor. You should also contact your doctor to discuss different birth control methods that may work for you. Good luck!
