Best Time For Pregnancy Test || When To Take Pregnancy Test || Dr Swapna Chekuri || Ferty Care
For many women, the decision of when to take a pregnancy test has become a worrying issue. Sometimes the stress is because they want to be pregnant. Sometimes it’s because they don’t want to be.
It's important to take the pregnancy test at the right time to maximize your chance of getting an accurate result. In this video Dr. Swapna Chekuri explaining the best time to take a pregnancy test.
For those who are worried that she is pregnant… but don’t want to be!, she may be considering a test because her period is late, or because she thinks I am having pregnancy symptoms.
Whether you’re hoping for a negative or a positive result, taking an early test may seem like a good way to find out if you’re expecting right away. Unfortunately, taking the test early may give you a negative result, even if you are pregnant.
How do you decide when to resist, and when the right time to take a test is? Does when you take a pregnancy test really matter?
——–The Best Time in Your Cycle——
The best time to take the pregnancy test is after the period is late. This will help you avoid false negatives and the false positives of very early miscarriages.
If your cycles are irregular or you don’t chart your cycles, don't take a test until you’ve passed the longest menstrual cycle you usually have. For example, if your cycles range from 30 to 36 days, the best time to take a test would be day 37 or later.
Something else to consider is whether you know if your period is even late. Out of every 100 women, between 10 and 20 will not get a positive pregnancy test result on the day they think is just after their missed period, even if they are pregnant.
——-The Best Time of Day——–
The time of day you take a pregnancy test does matter to a certain extent. You are more likely to get an exact result if you take the test in the morning. This is especially true if your period-perfect, or if your period is only a couple days late.
At-home pregnancy tests work by detecting the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin – hCG in your urine. Unless you get up in the night to the washroom often, your urine is more concentrated when you first wake up. This usually means that the amount of hCG is a bit higher, and you’re more likely to get a positive result if you’re pregnant.
However, you can still take a pregnancy test in the middle of the day, or even at night. You’re just more likely to get a false-negative, especially if your period isn’t that late, and especially if you’ve been drinking a lot of water and your urine is diluted.
———-When You “Feel” Pregnant——–
You may decide to take a pregnancy test because you’re having early pregnancy symptoms, including
Mild cramps (sometimes called “implantation cramps”)
Very light spotting (sometimes called “implantation spotting”)
Fatigue
Sensitivity to smells
Slight morning nausea
Depending on whether a positive pregnancy test would be good or bad news, symptoms like these may fill you with dread…or excitement! But here’s the good (or bad) news: pregnancy symptoms don’t mean you’re pregnant. In fact, you can “feel pregnant” and not be pregnant, or “not feel pregnant” and be expecting.
Many pregnancy symptoms can be caused by other things, like a cold, the flu, or even a few nights of poor sleep.
———How Pregnancy Tests Work———
As mentioned, the tests detect the pregnancy hormone, hCG, in your urine. Some tests also detect a variation of this hormone, known as hyperglycosylated hCG (H-hCG). The regular hCG is produced only after an embryo implants into the endometrium. H-hCG begins to be released earlier, sometime after fertilization.
An at-home pregnancy test can't measure the exact amount of pregnancy hormone in your urine. What it can do is detect whether a minimum amount is present.
Getting a negative pregnancy test result doesn't mean your urine doesn't contain hCG. It just means it doesn't contain enough to trigger a positive result.
If you're having fertility treatments and you’ve have had an hCG trigger shot like Ovidrel, then you should not take an early pregnancy test. An early test may detect the remains of fertility medication.

Good evening madam. I got married in 2014, got eptopic in 2015 and removed mu right tube. Got 2nd eptopic in 2019 and due to the early detection the baby got aborted in the tube itself and the tube is blocked. Now
My period is skipped, this is the 3rd day. Hote test results negative. Beta ugc results 4.3, there is no evidence found in scan.kindly let me know my status. (I’m having regular periods)
@Hyderabad Women Fertility Centre Madam, it’s negative.Thabk you for your responce.
Is it possible for me to get natural pregnancy??. Since my one tube is blocked and one tube is removed. Many people suggest me to go for IVF. What is your suggestion mam
Sameera garu anyway pregnancy is not there as nothing is seen on scan and even beta hcg is negative so v need to rule out hormonal imbalance if possible once u consult with all ur old reports and v can plan for better treatment
@sameera nerella garu it’s better y to o go for ivf u consult once with your reports
