A member asked:
10 days before period anxious to know of pregnant can i take a pregnancy test yet or is too soon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably too soon: you could certainly try, but typically the test is not very reliable until you reach the days on which you expect your period. The urine test detects a hormone that is produced in response to the pregnancy, and it takes a couple of weeks for the hormone to reach levels that are detectable in the urine. Earliest it can be detected is usually ~2-3 weeks after conception.
