When Should I Do A Pregnancy Test After Missing My Menses?
Hi, me and my husband are trying to conceive, my period is due tomorrow, I have done early pregnancy tests, but results have shown negative, we had sex last night and the night before, could I still get pregnant if my period doesn't show? Also how long would I need to wait to re-test again? Thanks

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Pregnancy test:
It should be done 7-9 days after missed period.
Should be done in early morning with fresh mid stream urine sample.
Blood HCG:
It is more accurate than pregnancy test. It will give positive result even with in 7 days of missed period.
Pregnancy test was negative as you did test very early.
So follow above advice and all the best.
Hope this may help you
