Probably not...I think I remember reading that one of the earliest tests could be taken 4-5 days before your period was due. Best bet is either wait or get a blood test.

I found out at 13 dpo. with a faint positive hpt. But doctor say to wait until your missed period or 8 days after your missed 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
If you are already 18 days late, the hpt was probably accurate, and your cramps probably indicate that you are about to have your period.
I always advise that a HPT be performed 3 weeks after you had unprotected sex as its most accurate as this time. You can see your doctor for a pregnancy blood test which can be performed now.
14 days after intercourse or the day of your expected period.
Yes you could be pregnant. Wait a few more days and do another HPT or see your doctor for a blood test. More accurate.
i think its too early to take hpt , try after 1 week you get accurate one.
could be take a hpt to see
Retest one week after your missed period, some tests are sensitive enough to use the day your period is due but others are not. By one week after your period was due, your hCG will be at a level any HPT should be able to give an accurate and reliable answer. Using the HPT 5 days before your period is due is always going to be unreliable, unless you have very irregular cycles. Generally speaking, ovulation occurs 14 days before your period is due, you then have a 24 hour window to conceive. 10 to 12 days after conception the fertilized egg starts implanting into the uterine wall, at that time your hCG level starts rising and will be at the necessary 50mIU/ml to 80mIU/ml - between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 weeks following conception, which just happens to coincide with the week your period is due.
with an hpt 5 days before your missed period.... or get a hcg blood test by your doctor
A normal period usually means no pregnancy, if you are unsure take a HPT.
I would wait a week just to be sure.
I think you mean can a hpt be positive 5 days before your period is due??? In that case yes it can come back positive as your hormones (hcg) can be strong enough to show but not always its beat to teeth the day you should get your period or that day after
The HPT will be accurate when its performed 3-4 weeks after intercourse.
If you have got your period, you don't need to take an HPT
what had happen you either had a false negative or a false positive--this happen when you have low hcg level in your urine--like you said you took two other hpt and came back positive-- i assume you are pregnant with low hcg level and the clear blue digital didn't pick up your hcg -if you still have concerns and haven't had a period yet--i suggest you go to your doctor and ask for a blood test and also explain what happen to you when you did the hpt--a blood test is more accurate than a hpt--when you buy hpt you have to read when the hpt expired and when its best to used it..i've never used hpt before a missed period even with the 5 days advance hpt--always used hpt after a missed a period because your hcg will be high and easy to be pick up by hpt--i hope i help you--good luck
To get the most accurate result it is best to wait 5 to 10 days after a missed period. You can test with a 5 days before your missed period test BUT remember if it comes out negative, it could be a false negative and will want to test again once your period is late.
A blood test would have been negative 3 days before your missed period but an hpt would ususlly be positive by now. You have to use the first urine of the day when it is good and strong.
Yes, you need to take a HPT. Yes, its possible you could be pregnant. You can do a pregnancy test now and it should be accurate.
10 day tests are usually not as accurate as the tests that are taken later. Why don´t you take another test?
You don't need to take an HPT if you have your period
Anything is possible. But if you took the HPT recently (around the time of your missed period) and it turns up negative, you're probably NOT pregnant.
No. An hpt is 99% accurate when the is result is positive and roughly 50% when negative. The reason for this disparity between a false negative and false positive is in the early days of pregnancy, the hormone an HPT tests for maybe too low for a positive result. That is why the tests says it should not be taken sooner then four days before your expected period. The closer you are to your period, the more accurate the results. Once you missed your period, a negative and positive test are on par in terms of accuracy. For instance, if a test is negative a week after your expected period, chances are you are not pregnant. If you have not had your period for three months, you would have just ended your first tri-mester and therefore your hormones will would be at a very comfortably level of detection. Chances are you have not gotten your period because of stress, being over/underwieght, of changes in what you eat or your amount of excercise. There are a multitude of other explanations so go see your doctor to find out why.
Yes. You really only need to wait 14-16 days after an act of sex to take an accurate HPT.
Yes, you can get a false negative with a hpt. On the other hand you can not get a false positive with a hpt.
You could be. It is best to take a hpt 5 to 10 days after a missed period to get the most accurate result, otherwie you can get a false negative. Normally a women is late at some time or another. (Stress & eating habits are 2 common reasons why a period is late...Other then pregnancy that is)
