Yes, beta hCG is usually accurate by the 7th day after a missed period. Fasting is not required for this test.

I have PCOD but usually have regular periods. My last period was on 4th, and I took a pregnancy test which came out positive. It has now been 1 month and 1 week. Should I take any special precautions because of my PCOD? I am not currently on any medication.

My girlfriend took a pregnancy test and got negative three times after missing her period for 2 weeks. She took Meprate for 3 days and got her period after 2 days with heavy flow for 5 days. Can she still be pregnant? Does Meprate cause periods even if you are pregnant? Please help.

Can I get an early pregnancy blood test without a prescription? I have tested four times with a home pregnancy kit, but all results were negative. Since these kits may not detect low hCG levels, when should I visit a doctor to confirm if I am pregnant? I am 21 years old, unmarried, and usually have very regular periods.
