A member asked:
How can you test too soon if your period is already 7 days late? is it possible? should i wait longer or get bloodwork done?

Home tests work: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period. If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection. If it is still negative then you are not pregnant.
