HELLO
IF YOU HAVE A REGULAR 28 TO 30 DAYS CYCLE, THE URINE PREGNANCY TEST IS POSITIVE AROUND THE DAY OF YOUR MISSED PERIOD.
IF YOU HAVE IRREGULAR CYCLES IT IS REQUIRED TO REPEAT THE TEST.
A VERY SENSITIVE TEST FOR AN EARLY PREGNANCY CONFIRMATION IS THE SERUM ESTIMATION OF HCG.
AS YOU YOURSELF SAY STRESS CAN ALTER THE MENSTRUAL PERIODS.
