Is taking a pregnancy test a week after you missed your period still accurate?

There are early pregnancy tests that can detect as early as 6 DPO (days past ovulation), but most store bought tests can only detect as early as 5 days before your expected period.
A pregnancy can not be ruled out until after the period is missed. A negative pregnancy test before then, is not a guarantee that you aren't pregnant.If you are only 7 DPO, then the best bet would be to wait at least another day or 2, then use FMU (first morning urine) and test with a sensitive test, such as First Response Early Result, or the Clear Blue Digital tests.
Having symptoms is a very good sign.

∙ 14y agoPregnancy symptoms will vary from one woman to another… in fact, they can vary from pregnancy to pregnancy in the same woman. All early symptoms can possibly be signs of other issues by themselves, but when you have several, you can be reasonably sure you've conceived.you may notice as early as a week or two after conception. This can also be a sign of an impending period, so unless this is accompanied by other symptoms, it may not mean anything. A pregnancy test will usually not be accurate around the 6 or 8 week but you can give it a try.

How many days late for postiive pregnancy?
Most test are between 95%-99% accurate at the day of your expected period. The later you wait after your expected period, the more accurate it is going to be. To ensure the best results: * Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest * Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results * Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. * urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip * Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test. 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
Is it common to miss a period while taking ortho cept 28?
Sometimes you can miss a period when you have recently started taking contraception pills. However, the likelihood of pregnancy needs to be ruled out. Do a pregnancy test. If the test is negative wait till your next period arrives. If it arrives like normal then the missed period was probably a one off thing. But if your next period doesnt arrive, see your doctor for a change in BCP.
