A member asked:
If my period is due in 6 days, will pregnancy test be accurate now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time & technique: It is better to wait 4-5 days after a missed period to do home pregnancy test. The test may be positive sooner, but a negative test, if done too early does not rule out pregnancy. A blood test may be positive as soon as one day after a missed period. For the home test, use first morning urine and follow the instructions carefully.
