When is it best to take a home pregnancy test?

Question

i am 5 weeks pregnant would my test be accurate...well i've missed my period for 6 days..... what do you think please i need an answer

Answer 1

it all depends on your hormone levels. i took mine the day my period didn't start and i got a positive but some people take a little longer. i have heard of people being 12 weeks pregnant and still not getting a positive result.

Answer 2

Yeah, you could take it about now. Results are usually better in the morning because there is more of HcG, which is a hormone that you get when you are pregnant.  

Answer 3

if your 5 weeks pregnant then you already know your pregnant so why would you need to take a pregnancy test

?

Answer 4

You should be well in the clear to take the test. Do it!

Answer 5

You have already taken a test I presume because you are saying you are 5 weeks pregnant? If you already know why are you asking? If I read this wrong:

You can take a test any day beginning the first day of your missed period and you should get an accurate result. 2 weeks after your missed period should be the MOST accurate because your body should have produced enough HcG (pregnancy hormone) to provide a definite positive. It is very rare that women get a negative this late and are still pregnant. It can happen but it is unlikely.

Some people don't product enough HcG to provide a positive result early in pregnancy, hence one of the only ways to get a "false negative".

Hope I helped. Take care hon.

Answer 6

now!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

You need to take the test first thing in the morning with your first urine of the day.

If your period is 6 days late, the test would be accurate at this point. Mine was positive when I was only 2 days late.

Answer 8

If you have missed it for 6 days then you should be good to take it. I don't understand why you need to take a test if you already say that you're 5 weeks pregnant O_o

Answer 9

i think so, the best time to do a preg test is at least 3 weeks after the s*x. i think it will be accurate now

good luck
