Hi,
Urine tests for pregnancy are not likely to be positive before the third day of a missed period whereas blood tests can be performed with good results as early as a week before a missed period. I suggest that you wait for a week after you miss a period as HPTs do not read a positive result with very low levels of hormone as they are not so sensitive. You may consult your doctor for further advice. Good luck.
