How Long Should I Wait to Get a Pregnancy Test Done? Posted: 07-05-07 13:44pm


Hi Everyone, My boyfriend and I had a condom break and am not sure how long to wait to take a test. Can anyone give me some advise on what to do? Syd

Wait until after you have missed your period, the test should be accurate after that point. However, some ladies on here got negative tests even then and had to go to the doctor for a blood test.

The best result is to wait until after a missed period. Sometimes it can show up a little before then, but I wouldn't count on it. It's different for everyone really. Some people can tell sooner then others, and some people will test negative until they are farther along. I would say the best test result will be after a missed period in my own opinion.

i would say the best time to test is after a missed period but they do sell tests that now can read up to 5 days before your missed period...
