When should pregnancy test be taken after missing a period?
Patient: I stopped taking the pill after my last period which started on the 9th Jan 2011 and I had previosly only been on the pill for 3 months! Me and my partner have been having unprotected sex since then at least every 2nd or even 3rd night! We already have an 6 month d daughter and want another one but I thought it would take a cpl of months to concieve? When do u think I will be due for my period so I can take a test? I have had dull lower abdominal and back aching, headaches, moody and tired!but preg tests r saying neg still even early ones.. My last pregnancy I had no noticeable symptoms until about 6 weeks! Do u think I am? An do u think I'd be due for my period around 7th feb? Or could it be different cos I came off the pill! Doctor: Hello,Around 9th of February you will get your periods and if you miss your period do UPT on 11th of February and see the result. As you stop taking pill and have sex every third day then you may get pregnant.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Sheetal Agarwal
