Can the health department pregnancy test tell sooner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Blood test becomes positive sooner than urine test, not where the test is done. Blood test may be positive even before the missed period, but it is better to test after a missed period. Urine test should be done 4-5 days after a missed period.
