A member asked:

Last week think i had implation spotting for 2 days yesterday no period did a test negative its it too early to tell or am i just late thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be too early: Pregnancy tests are most reliable one week after a missed period. Wait another week and retest. If you are not already taking one please start a prenatal vitamin with folate (folic acid). This can prevent neural tube defects (spinal cord birth defects) if taken in early pregnancy.
