How long do you have to wait before taking a pregnancy test?

Answer 1

You can wait at least 5-7 days after your missed period. Say if you normally get periods in the middle of the month, and you are off by a couple of days you can do that. Either that or wait at least 3 weeks after sex

Answer 2

Wait a missed cycle. I know the test kits tell you that they can tell you within 2 days after, but it takes a cycle for the hormone they test for to build up. The kits are expensive so if you wait you will get a more accurate reading and not have to redo it. Too early a test will not give an accurate reading.

Answer 3

1 Week. Some suggest 2-3 weeks however. Just to make sure you just have a late period or not.

Answer 4

The earliest you can take most tests is 24 hours before you would expect to menstruate. For most women, this means about two weeks after they conceived.

Answer 5

You should wait until you have missed your period. If it is negative and you haven't gotten your period in a week, take another test.

Answer 6

i would guess a week or two after unprotected sex or as soon as you suspect your pregnant

Answer 7

Home pregnancy tests are considered accurate 14 to 16 days after ovulation and a blood test in a Dr's office is accurate 10 to 14 days after ovulation and in some cases sooner.

Answer 8

you should wait at least 5 days after your due period for a positive result

Good Luck :-)

Answer 9

The earliest is 2 weeks after.
