Hello, I am a married woman & we are planning for baby. I got my last periods on 2nd November 2012. And we had committed for a baby on 01st December 2012. Still I have not get my periods. So shall I do pregnancy test now? Or else I should wait for some more days?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns now.
Do you have regular periods every 28-30 days? If so, then you can do the pregnancy test now. Generally speaking, you can do the pregnancy test on the day of your scheduled periods.
Sometimes the urine pregnancy test may not pick up the pregnancy. In that case repeat the test after 4-5 days if you have still not started the periods by then.
I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
