Hpt Questions...
Posted: 06-10-05 13:21pm

I know that you have to wait til her the first day of a missed period to take a hpt, but can you take it at any point in time after that? My girlfriend has had her period, we think... Shes pretty positive but im still scared. Are hpts effective no matter when during a pregnancy you would take them?

Say if she were pregnant and shes 4 weeks in to the pregnancy, would the hpt show a positive? Or would it be inconclusive?

Thanks in advance,
alex

She can take it anytime after her period would of started. So if she's had a "period" then she can take one, the later she takes it the better the results are, because when a girl is pregnant the hormone builds up in her system and it's easier to detect on a hpt. They also recommend first morning urine, but it's not necessary. Just make sure that when she does take one, that she hasn't urinated in 4 hours....Try to at least! Good luck.
