If i find I might be pregnant..how long should i wait before i can take a pregnancy test?

Question

So I think I might be pregnant because the condom broke and we aren't sure when it did and now we're pretty much terrified. Do I have to wait until my missed period before I can take a pregnancy test? Or can I take one, say tomorrow and it still be fairly accurate?

By the way, this happened Friday, so not that long ago.

Answer 1

It is usually a waste of money and time to test early. Try to wait until your period is due. There are a few test like First Response that claim to give results 5 days before your missed period... but as far as I'm concerned the longer you wait the better. Most pregnancy test will not pick up the hcg hormone until you are about 2-5 weeks pregnant.

best of luck to you

Answer 2

you would have to wait until your missed period or the earliest is 5 days before depending what test you buy

Answer 3

You will need to wait until you miss your period.  

Answer 4

You have wait till you miss your period. Nothing but blood work is going to be right untill then. Just breath and wait. If you get stressed your period can be late and that can be stressful in its self!  

Answer 5

It takes a bit longer than a few days to actually become pregnant.  If you are really worried....you are cutting it close, but you can take the morning after pill tomorrow

Answer 6

Don't waste your money on a test until you've actually missed your period. Some women still have a first period after becoming pregnant so if this occurs, wait until after your period and then take the test. If you are truly not ready... take an emergency contraceptive ASAP!

Answer 7

give it 3-4 weeks for the pregnancy test to be truly accurate.. best of luck!!
