Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I would be able to help you.

Usually you can take the test within 10 to 15 days after the expected day of menses of the next cycle. That would be approximately 20th of next month.

that's however for the ideal method.

A urine pregnancy test available for commercial purposes is easily and inexpensively available. And it can be tried starting 20th of the current month . However, if the test is negative we will have to wait.

One can also get a ultrasound of needed.

I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
