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.

Question

Today is my second day of missed period and I got a positive urine pregnancy test with a clear test line. Is it 100 percent confirmed or should I take some other test?

Hi, I am 22 years old and unmarried. I had unprotected anal sex once and took Unwanted 72. That month, I had spotting first and then got my period. The next month, I had protected intercourse using a condom, and the next day I got my period. Now, I have not gotten my period. I had very light dark brown spotting. Is there any risk of pregnancy? I took a pregnancy test 15 days ago, and it was negative.

Question

After how many days of missing period should we check pregnancy? I missed my period yesterday and today I took the test and it was negative.
