When Would Be The Best Time To Take A Home Pregnancy Test?

Hi, it has been 37 days since the start of my last period and I don't have any symptoms of starting (i.e bloating, very sleepy). I have regular sex and do not use contraception as am trying for a baby. When would be the best time to take a home pregnancy test or if I even should? Many Thanks, Laura.

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. The best time to get a urine pregnancy test done is after 2-3 days of your expected periods are due.The urine pregnancy test is sensitive enough to detect the pregnancy even at one day overdue.
Symptoms of pregnancy like bloating, tiredness and nausea do not occur so early in pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
