How many days can I miss before I know I'm pregnant?

Answer 1

Pregnancy is not the only thing that can cause a late period. Birth Control and morning after pill can also delay your period, as can recently being ill. However, the best thing to do would be to perform a pregnancy test to determine if you are pregnant or not.

Answer 2

There are a few sensitive preg tests that can you can use up to 5 days before your period is due, such as First Response's Early Results test. Even so, it can't give you a definite negative 5 days before---in terms of an accurate negative, the accuracy rate increases each day you get closer to your period. This is because it's possible for a woman to be pregnant, but not have high enough HCG levels for the test to register a positive that many days before her period. However, if you get a positive, you can rely on it no differently than if you had used a traditional test on the day of your missed period. The reason for the varying levels of accuracy is b/c a woman's body doesn't produce the HCG hormone until the fertilized egg has attached to her uterus. On average, it takes a fertilized egg 6 to 10 days to implant...so a woman whose egg implants on Day 6 post-conception will have higher levels of HCG around the time of her missed period than a woman whose egg didn't implant until 10 days post-conception. Your HCG levels double every 2-3 days, so if you use an early detection test & get a negative, you should wait 3 days before testing again.
