Question: Hi doctors out there. A big salute to all. My concern is me and wife are trying for a baby. Her last periods were by 18th dec. We started having sex by 23rd. From XXXXXXX 1st she is experiencing enlarging of breast, cramping, morning sickness which she never had experienced. Her period cycle would be regular of 33 to 35 days. We were eager and took urine test yesterday but it turned negative. When is the possible date to take our next test

Brief Answer:
It should be taken 7 days after her expected period date.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Salute to you too!

Thanks for trusting HCM about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

Usually we advise to take home urine pregnancy test 7 days after her missed period date.

So in her case, as her expected period date is 18-20 XXXXXXX We should take another test on 25-27 XXXXXXX

You can get her blood beta hcg testing which can be positive early.

Hope found the answer useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
