Test urine pregnancy 14 days post intercourse. Best on the day of missed period. Early testing may give false negatives. Serum Beta hCG detects earlier if needed.

Hi, My period was due on 20th, but I have been experiencing brown discharge since 13th, which continues till now. It is light, occurring about once a day. Should I take a pregnancy test now, or wait until my period is missed?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My period has been missed since October 4th. We had intercourse on October 1st. My urine test is now positive. Please advise me on which tablet to stop a 20 day pregnancy?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
