How early can I confirm if I am pregnant? In other words, when is the best time to take a pregnancy test? Also, are there any specific early pregnancy symptoms I should look out for?

You can take a urine test on the first day of your missed period. If you want to check earlier, a blood test (Beta hCG) can confirm pregnancy about 10 to 12 days after sex. Early signs include a missed period, tiredness, mild cramps, or breast pain. But not everyone gets symptoms right away, so testing is the best way to know.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Today I tested positive on a pregnancy test. Should I consult a doctor immediately or wait for one more week? My last menstrual period was 5 days ago, on 20th November.

I had a day 5 frozen embryo transfer (blastocyst) on 4th July. Initially, I experienced period like cramps and pelvic discomfort for 3 to 4 days, but since then I have not had any such symptoms. I am worried about whether I am pregnant. My doctor has asked me to come on 19th July for a Beta HCG test. Can I check a home pregnancy test today to get an idea of whether I am pregnant?
