Pregnancy and Overdue Periods
When to Take a Pregnancy Test?
The most reliable pregnancy test results can be achieved five or more days after a missed period. If the test is negative five days after a missed period, the likelihood of pregnancy is low. Healthy pregnancies typically last between 37 and 42 weeks.
How Long After a Missed Period Can a Positive Pregnancy Test Be Expected?
After three days of a missed period, sufficient levels of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) are typically present in the body to produce a positive pregnancy test result.
