Timing of Home Pregnancy Test Kits |

Dear Ask The Doctor: I think I may be experiencing implantation bleeding- sex a week ago today and startd a dark brown spotting thurs or fri, how soon can I take a pregnancy test and expect a real answer? The more important detail is the last menstrual period (first day of the previous period). If you can remember the date, or at least week of the month, count 5-6 weeks from there. If you don’t have your usual period (usual amount and usual duration), you may do a home pregnancy test. Do this early morning (first morning urine right after waking) up because it is most concentrated. In your case, you may wait 1-2 weeks for your period to appear. If it doesn’t, do a pregnancy test. All home kits are not 100% accurate. If it turns out positive, a more reliable blood pregnancy test, or better yet, an ultrasound, can confirm pregnancy. I do hope I have answered your question. Take care. |
