A member asked:

Trying to conceive, period is late by 3days, experiencing fatigue, constipation, and mood swings. home pregnancy tests were negative. did i just test too early? iud was removed in august and have had one period since?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HCG level: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.
