Hello,

The usual time to take the test is 2-3 days before you are expecting your period. So if you are already delayed for your periods, this is the right time to take the test. If you are planning on second test, I would advise you to take it with first urine in the morning as urine is not diluted at that time. You can also go for a blood test for pregnancy.

If the test comes negative and you are more than 10 days delayed for your periods, I would advise you to visit a gynecologist for physical examination and further investigations.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
