How Early Can Pregnancy Be Detected In A HPT?

Hi, my husband and I haven t been trying to conceive long, but this is my first time trying to conceive ever. It s been 12 days past my suspected ovulation date (2 days until my suspected period date)and at 10 dpo I bled brownish red spots. Since I ve studied a bit of pregnancy and childhood development while in college I thought maybe it could be implantation bleeding. The timing seems in place, but I haven t gotten even a faint line on a home pregnancy test. The spotting hasn t shown up today, but the cramps are ever apparent and just as strong as they were the night of 10 dpo when I first noticed the spotting. I was curious what my chances were to get a positive test? I haven t had any symptoms besides bloating and this cramping and indigestion as far back as 4 dpo. My period is still normal from being on birth control back in my teens, but being almost 21, I m concerned that maybe I m experiencing fake symptoms. I m wondering if it s possible to get negatives at 12 or 13 dpo and then get a positive at around 14-16 which would be the day my period starts or two days later.

Hi,

It was quite early for you to go for UPT. Pregnancy test detects a pregnancy after the first day of missed period. So recheck your urine for pregnancy after 3 days of your missed period.

If that too is negative and you don't get your cycle,please see your gynecologist who will investigate you for an ectopic pregnancy. De stress yourself because anxiety, OC pills and hormonal imbalances are quite frequent reasons of delayed periods.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ajeet singh,
