When can a confirmatory pregnancy test be taken?
Patient: Okay I have. Had a period sept 27 to the 29 and one day after it ended completely,I went to use the restroom wiped and I seen light pink dots. And two brownish almost redish. I have taken 3 home pregnancy test and they came back negative. Buht now I am feeling pain and stiffness in my legs when I walk and stand for a certain amount of time. Even when I lay down they still hurt.and I ve been shaking a lot lately due to sensitivity of the cold weather. What do you think this could be? Do you think I took the pregnancy test to early to tell? Doctor: Hi    I understand your concern.    Earliest detection of pregnancy can be by blood HCG testing around expected date of menses.    Home pregnancy test can give reliable results after 8 days dealy in menses.    Usg abdomen by vaginal probe can diagnose pregnancy of 5 weeks & with abdominal probe by 6 weeks.    thanks.
