How many days after last period to take pregnancy test?

Question

I've missed my period and am anxious to know if I'm pregnant. How many days after my last period should I wait to take a pregnancy test for accurate results? I want to test at the right time.

Ideally, you should test at least 1 day after your missed period for the most accurate result. If you have irregular cycles, consulting your doctor for a blood test is always the best approach.

Wait till your missed period date for the best result! Testing first thing in the morning works wonders 🤞

Test a day or two after your missed period. That gives the most accurate result.

Don't rush it, dear. Wait until you actually miss your period, testing too early just causes unnecessary tension.

I'd say wait till your missed period day, or maybe a day after. I celebrated my positive test with some spicy golgappas!
