Can you be to far along in a pregnancy for a home pregnancy test to be accurate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope!: A home preganacy test measures hcg, a pregnancy hormone, in the urine. This hormone is present throughout pregnancy thus a home pregnancy test will remain positive the duration of pregnancy.
