A member asked:
My period is 8 days away can i take a pregnancy test now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy test: Probably not. The pregnancy test does not become positive until after implantation, when the fertilized egg implants into the endometrium, which happens about 9 days after ovulation (range: 6-12 days), and it takes another 3-4 days after implantation for the hcg (blood pregnancy test) to be evident in the blood.
