A member asked:
How many days after first day of last period can blood test detect pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After missed period: It is better to do the test after a missed period. Blood test may be positive a day or two sooner than that, but a negative result will not rule out pregnancy at that time. For home test, it is better to wait 4-5 days after a missed period.
