A member asked:

When should i take a pregnancy test? my period is always on time and i didn't get it for this month on its due date.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnancy test: A home pregnancy test should give a reliable result at the time of a missed period. If negative, and menses does not appear , it's wise to repeat the test in 1 to 2 weeks.
