Doctor,
After how many missed days of period should I check the pregnancy tests? Urine or blood test is better? Which test is better to do? Please guide me!

Question

You should wait to take a pregnancy test until the week after your missed period for the most accurate result. If you don't want to wait until you've missed your period, you should wait at least one to two weeks after you had sex. If you are pregnant, your body needs time to develop detectable levels of HCG. First Response digital and manual tests are the most sensitive, and can detect hCG-h, the kind of hCG that women produce only very early on in pregnancy, to determine pregnancy sooner. Clearblue Easy and EPT are both less sensitive than First Response, but more sensitive than other tests on the market.

If cycles are regular then blood test or urine test for preganancy can be done on the very first day of missed period. However blood test is better.
