Missed periods

Question

Missed periods

Asked for Female, 30 Years

Hi, I am planning for a baby and my periods are 6 days late, when is the right time to do urine test? I heard that we should wait atleast 10 days after missed periods to go for any pregnancy test. Please confirm should i do urine test today or wait for some more days, so that there would be adequate amount of HCG to detect.

Hi there, If your periods have always been regular, you can check for your urine pregnancy test by the day of your missed periods, and if pregnant it will be positive. So can go ahead with your testing urine for pregnancy. Hope this helps. Have a great day.
