Missed Your Period? Here’s When to Take a Pregnancy Test! | Mamata Fertility Hospital: Hyderabad

When Should You Take a Pregnancy Test?

If you have a regular menstrual cycle (25–30 days), here’s how to approach a delayed period:

✨ Step 1: Wait for a week after your expected period date. If your period is delayed by 7 days, take a urine pregnancy test.
💡 Tip: For accurate results, do the test early in the morning when hormone levels are most concentrated.

✨ Step 2: If the test result is negative but your period is still delayed for another week, consult your doctor. They may recommend a serum beta hCG blood test, which provides a more accurate confirmation of pregnancy.

🔍 Why this approach?
Pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG, which increases as pregnancy progresses. Testing too early may give a false negative result, so it’s best to wait.

👩‍⚕ If you’re experiencing irregular cycles or other symptoms, it’s always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
