Can you take a pregnancy test a week before your period?

Answer 1

Several home pregnancy tests advertise that they can detect the pregnancy hormone pretty accurately up to five days before your (missed) period.

However, it is a good idea to follow it up with an additional home pregnancy test should you discover that you have indeed missed your period at its expected time (should you have regular cycles), just to be sure whether or not the first one was accurate.

Answer 2

Highly likely to get a negative reading and be wasting your money. You may definitely be able to get a blood test from your doctors office 7-10dpo. Good luck to you!!!!!

Well, you can, but your results probably won't be accurate. You should take a home pregnacny test no more than 1 day before your expected period or the day of your expected period to get accurate results.

1. Conception usually occurs about 5-7 days after intercourse
2. Your most fertile period is about 5 days before ovulation
3. For most(but not all) women ovulation occurs about 14 days prior to her period.

According to the ClearBlue pregnancy test accuracy results they are:

4 days before expected period= 51% accurate

3 days before expected period= 82% accurate

2 days before expected period= 90% accurate

1 day before expected period =95% accurate

the day of expected period =99% accurate

Answer 3

Depending on the test. It is not as reliable as after you miss your period. Check the box, it will give you the % of accuracry. Also, may have not yet produced enough hcg and thereforemay not get an accurate result. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

You can if it is 5 days after you have had sexual intercourse but you will get a inaccurate result. Wait till your period arrives. If it doesn't arrive then you do a test. If it DOES arrive then you are NOT pregnant. to get better results then go to a doctor and get tested.

Answer 6

You can, but you will get a false reading. Wait until you have missed your period.

Answer 7

Probably not. If your period doesn't arrive, take a test a week later

Answer 8

No you can't, because only after the period you will find out if you are pregnant or not. Therefore wait for merely 45 days to test for your pregnancy.

Answer 9

yes
