A member asked:

Im 4 days late. but ive gotten cramps every now and then. not to bad. breasts are no longer tender or sore. should i take the test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe. Or wait.: Pregnancy is the most common cause of a missed period. If not pregnant, other causes of a late or missed period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (especially birth control pills), hormonal disorders, etc… A urine pregnancy test is very accurate 3 weeks after sex or 1 week after missing a period.
