Some home pregnancy tests are more sensitive than others and can be taken before your missed period. But you may get more accurate results if you wait until after the first day of your missed period.
This is because the amount of the pregnancy hormone, called human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, in your urine increases with time. The earlier you take the test, the harder it is for the test to detect the hCG.
hCG is made when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. This usually happens about 10 days after conception (when the man's sperm fertilizes the woman's egg)
Take a pregnancy test.
It may be your birth control if you are taking any they cause irregular periods.
Yes. Some women have very irregular periods. If you suspect you are pregnant, you should take a home pregnancy test just to be sure.
Always possible but it's normal for some girls to have irregular periods.
With irregular periods you should test according to your longest cycle in recent months. If you are uncertain when your period is due or could be due, it is recommended to test at least 19 days from the day you think you became pregnant. If the result is negative you should test again in 3 days because you may have tested too early. Good luck.
Yes it is the main sign of pregnancy, so if there is a chance that you could be pregnant, you should take a pregnancy test.
It can take months for your periods get back to normal, especially if you are breast feeding you can miss periods or have long times between them. You can still get pregnant while breast feeding and having irregular periods though so you should still use contraception.
I'm no expert but I know that it could be that you are irregular like myself. My periods range from 45 days to 21. If you are regular, it might be a good idea to test to make sure.
No
It couldn't hurt to take a pregnancy test and it will put your mind at ease. Maybe you are not pregnant and you accidentally missed a pill.
If you are still having periods and the tests have proved negative then you are not pregnant. What you should do is in future take more care with your contraception.
Yes. Perform the pregnancy test three weeks after you had sex. It should be accurate then or see your doctor one week after sex for a blood test.
