If you haven't missed a period, when can you take a preg test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: Certainly a home pregnancy test CAN be checked before a period is missed... but it may not be able to detect a pregnancy. If the test is positive, it means that you are very likely pregnant. However, if it is negative, it doesn't prove that you are not pregnant. If the test is still negative one week after the missed periods, then pregnancy is unlikely.
