After how many days of missing period should we check pregnancy? I missed my period yesterday and today I took the test and it was negative.

The best time to take a pregnancy test is 2 to 3 days after missed period for most accurate results. Taking it on Day 1 may sometimes show a false negative due to low HCG levels. If still no period after 3 to 4 days, repeat test with first morning urine. If still unclear, get a Beta HCG blood test.

My period has been missing for the past 1 month and I have been sick for the past 2 days. I just got my blood report, and everything is normal except my ESR, which is 100 mm/h. Is this a sign of pregnancy?

Hi, last month on the last day of my period, I had sex, and the condom broke, so he cum inside me. I took an IPill within 12 hours, but after a week, some brown bleeding occurred which continued for four days. My menstrual cycle is 28 days. I am now three days late for my period and did a home pregnancy test, which was negative. Should I be worried?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My periods started on 2nd June. On 22nd June, I took an emergency contraceptive (ipill) after unprotected intercourse. My next period was expected on 3rd July, but it did not come, so I took a home urine pregnancy test on 11th July evening, which was negative. For the past two days, I have been experiencing very dark spotting. What could this mean? Could I still be pregnant, and should I test again?
