When Aunt Flo is delayed every month, how many days should it be postponed to test?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello! To determine pregnancy using a urine early pregnancy test, it is necessary to wait at least two weeks after intercourse or seven days after a missed period to get an accurate result. Since your period has not been delayed by seven days or more, the test may not be reliable. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test to check HCG levels, or wait a few more days to see. If your period does not arrive within a week, you can take a morning urine sample (the first urine of the day) for an early pregnancy test to determine if you are pregnant.
