I have a 28 day cycle, but today is the 31st day, and I have not yet gotten my period. We have been trying for a baby for the last few months. Is this missed period a sign of pregnancy? After how many days of a missed period should a home pregnancy test be done?

Since you have a regular 28 day cycle and today is Day 31, you can definitely take a urine pregnancy test now, especially if you are trying for a baby. Use the first morning urine for best results. If the test is negative and you still do not get your period, repeat it after 2 to 3 days. For earlier confirmation, a Beta HCG blood test gives more accurate results.

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?

My last period date was July 6. I had IUI on July 19. I have not got my period yet. When should I check for pregnancy?
