When Is the Earliest I Can Take a Home Pregnancy Test?

2 Comments

I am 25yrs and all ready have one child, I would like to know if a could take a home test now. but i do think it is a bit too early what do you say? I am sure my husband released in side me on the 16 september, but i will be having a peroid by end of this week (25 september). This morning when i woke up i started have cramps (period cramps).

Dear Ann-Marie,

It’s going to take a little while for any level of hCG (the pregnancy  hormone) to show up in your system and be at a level high enough to be detected in a urine pregnancy test. I would recommend to wait to take your first home pregnancy test until October 1. That will give you about a 2 week period from the time you had sex and hopefully conceived. Are you hoping to have become pregnant from this one incident or are you regularly trying to become pregnant with having sex frequently? The latter will definitely increase your chances.

Best luck,

Hannah
