Yes, you should wait. There are a few tests that can be taken a week before your period, but most are supposed to be taken after you are a day late. Read the box and find out which one's can be taken early. It's best to follow all directions for a more accurate result.

Would a home pregnancy test be accurate if you're not due to get your period for another two weeks?

It would probably not be accurate since it is testing for the hormone HCG and you should wait until your period is due in anther 2 weeks to test again for accurate results


Is it accurate if you started your period and a home pregnancy test came out negative?

Usually having your period is a sign you arent pregnant, but just to be sure wait until a few weeks after your period and take another test.


Is a home pregnancy test accurate on the day you are to start your period?

Depends on how long ago you had unprotected sex. If 2- 3 weeks, than yes, the day your period is due it should be pretty accurate. Though, all women are different.


Can a HOME PREGNANCY TEST tell if you are pregnant at 2 12 weeks?

How many weeksdoes it takes to know you are pregnant?

Most home pregnancy tests (urine tests) are accurate the day you miss your period. The day you miss your period, you conceived approximately 2 weeks prior, but technically you are "4 weeks pregnant" because pregnancy is calculated based off the date of your last menstrual period (LPM). Some pregnancy tests are accurate prior to the first day of a missed period. Most symptoms (nausea, breast tenderness, etc) start around 5 weeks after your LMP (3 weeks after conception). However, it is important to note that not all women experience symptoms.


After sex I did have a period but it came 4 days early and have had a few pregnancy symptoms. I've taken 8 home tests 2-4 weeks after and they were all negative. Would these tests be accurate by now?

usually you need to wait about 6 weeks after.


Within how many days you can know that you got pregnant?

A home pregnancy test should be accurate from 2 weeks after ovulation or from the day your period is due. If you don't know then do a test 2-3 weeks after you had unprotected sex.


How do you calulate if you're pregnant after sex and don't know when your periods are?

If you've lost track of when your last period was, it was probably at least 2-3 weeks ago. Wait two weeks and then purchase and use a home pregnancy test if you still haven't started your period. If that turns up negative, I would wait another two weeks, and if you still haven't gotten your period take another test. If that still comes up negative you might just have an extremely irregular period.


Can you test 2 weeks before missed period?

Home pregnancy tests are designed to be used AFTER your missed period. Using it 2 weeks before a missed period could skew the results.


Which home pregnancy test detects hcg early on?

Negative pregnancy test and two weeks late on a period?

Home pregnancy tests can occasionally have incorrect results. I would suggest waiting another week and trying another test. If the results are still negative and you still have not started your period, you should probably see a doctor.


Could you be pregnant if you were two weeks late and then got your period for two days?

Yes, you could be pregnant. Whenever you miss a period you should talk to your doctor or take a home pregnancy test to be sure. The two days that you had your period could be implantation bleeding, which means that you are pregnant and the baby is implanting into your uterus which can cause the bleeding you might have mistaken for your period. If you are unsure take a home pregnancy test, if it comes back negative then you are probably not pregnant, but if you miss another period you should talk to your doctor and get a blood test, which is more accurate than a hpt, just to be on the safe side.
