A member asked:
Is a pregnancy test accurate the day after my missed period on birth control? i took the placebo pills and spotted for a little over a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
