When is the most accurate time to use a pregnancy test?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If your menstrual cycle is regular, you can check for pregnancy by testing your first morning urine at home or getting a blood hCG test at the hospital if your period is delayed by 1-2 days. If it is confirmed that you are pregnant, it is recommended to have a pelvic ultrasound at the hospital around 45 days after your last menstrual period to determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy.
