Is it necessary to take a pregnancy test only with early morning urine? My period is delayed by 20 days, will the result still be accurate if I take the test at night or at any other time of the day?

It is recommended to use early morning urine for a pregnancy test because it has the highest concentration of hCG hormone, especially in the early days of a missed period. However, after a 20 day delay in your period, the hCG levels will usually be high enough to give an accurate result even if you take the test at night or any time of the day. If your test is negative and your period still does not start, repeat the test after a few days or consult your doctor. A serum Beta HCG test may help confirm the diagnosis and rules out any false negatives.

Question

Hi, on the 17th day of my period I went for a follicular study. My doctor injected HCG 10000 for egg rupture on the 18th day. I assume my egg ruptured then, but we were not able to have intercourse. On the 19th day, the doctor confirmed that the egg had ruptured. Since I did not have intercourse on the 18th day when the egg ruptured, is there any chance of pregnancy?

Question

I had anal sex for the first time with my partner, and since we were inexperienced, the condom tore. We were worried about the possibility of sperm reaching the vaginal area. This happened two days after my period ended (on Monday), and I took Unwanted 72 within two hours. Now, after seven days (on Sunday), I experienced some light bleeding. I am considering visiting a doctor for a checkup. Will the doctor be able to find out if I took the pill through any test for irregular bleeding? Can I be assured that there is no chance of pregnancy?

Question

My last period was on 1st August, and it has been 37 days since the start of my cycle, but my period has not yet arrived. I have been experiencing white discharge for the past 4 days. I took a pregnancy test on the 35th and 37th day, and both were negative. What should I do now?
