Considering home pregnancy tests can detect it up to five days before your missed period, you can take one as soon as you realize you're late.
no a blood pregnancy test can scan for lower levels of pregnancy hormones then a pregnancy test. a blood test can usually be taken after two weeks ovulatsion. depending on when you ovulated if you know i surgest if you wish to find out if your pregnant before your missed period that you use a pregnancy test whitch can detect the pregnancy hormones 6 days early. it will be best for you to take this test with the first pee in the morning.
yes, the best thing to do is to get a test that is designed to detect 5 days before your missed period, of course the closer you take it to your period the more accurate the results...I'm waiting a few more days to take one myself = ) good luck
This will generally depend on the test that is used to detect a pregnancy. Blood tests are more accurate in that they can detect a pregnancy earlier. As soon as two weeks after a missed period, blood tests can detect levels of Hcg (the hormone pregnant females produce). Urine pregnancy tests generally do not detect a pregnancy before the 6th week because sometimes it takes that long for Hcg levels to rise to the point where a urine test will be sensitive enough to detect it.
ASAP. Especially if you've already missed a period. Many of the newer meters can detect pregnancy before the first missed period. (or so they say)
It can take about 6-12 days after implantation for a pregnancy test to detect the pregnancy hormone hCG in urine. However, for more accurate results, it's recommended to wait until after you miss your period to take a pregnancy test.
Taking a pregnancy test seven days before a missed period won't be accurate.
The standard time frame for taking a pregnancy test is the 1st day after your missed period. Many home tests these days (like the clearblue easy) can detect the levels of hormones that indicate pregnancy 4 days before your period is due. If you are sure about your cycle length and are positive that you are 4 days late, then yes a pregnancy test can easily detect the pregnancy hormones.
Most HPT are reliable about 5 days after your missed period was due. Some claim they they can be used earlier but usually the hCG level is not high enough to test positive before this and you will get a false negative.
You can do a blood test which can detect pregnancy as soon as a week after fertilization. Home tests are usually not as accurate until 4 days before your period is due but some are more sensitive and can detect pg earlier. So to answer the question you can do a any of them as soon as you are late.
a week before your missed period
5 days before your missed period
