How soon can you test for pregnancy?

Answer 1

Some home tests you can take a few days before you are supposed to start your period. I don't know what kinds, but if you read the box, it will tell you when you can take it. Or you can go to the doctor and they can give you a blood test. These can determine pregnancy much sooner than a urine test.

Answer 2

With normal HPT's you have to wait until you are at least one month late. You can pay more money for an early HPT, but they are pretty expensive, and if it's negative, you will still be wondering. Try going to the Dr. and taking a blood test, or go the a free clinic.

Answer 3

Some pregnancy tests claim they can detect pregnancy one, three, or even five days before a missed period (which you wouldn't know you missed yet...)

Pregnancy occurs during ovulation. Now ovulation generally occurs 2 weeks after day 1 of the period. Pregnancy test can be taken at any time regardless of the timing of the cycle. It is important to remember that pregnancy tests may be falsely negative early on during pregnancy as the levels of beta hCG are too low to be detected.

Answer 4

You can take a pregnancy test everyday if you want, chances are it will remain negative until about the first week of a late cycle - because you will not have enough hCG to detect pregnancy until about 2 weeks after conception.

Answer 5

Most home pregnancy tests will read accurately anytime after the first day your period was supposed to start. I recommend buying a brand that gives you more than one test. Remember to test first thing when you wake up as that urine contains the greatest amount of hormones.

Answer 6

Some pregnancy tests claim 2-3 days before your period. Most home tests ask that you wait for 3-4 days after your period before testing. Hospitals and labs ask the same.

Answer 7

you CAN take the test, it won't hurt you or anything. But if your period is JUST LIKE it's always been you're very unlikely to get any results.
