A member asked:
What are the chances of home pregnancy test giving an accurate positive result 5 days before missed period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Most home pregnancy tests (hpts) claim to be 99% accurate on the first day of the missed period. However, research suggests that most hpts do not always detect the very low levels of pregnancy hormones this early. Most hpts can accurately detect pregnancy 1 week after a missed period.
