Is Day 1 Pregnancy Test Accuracy High?

Patient's Query

Is pregnancy test on the day of missed period consider to be more accurate or not?

Gynaecology

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

Taking a pregnancy test on the first day of a missed period can yield fairly reliable results. At this point, hormone levels, particularly hCG, typically rise high enough to detect. However, individual circumstances can vary. Early signs of pregnancy include nausea, fatigue, or breast tenderness. If you receive a negative result but still suspect pregnancy, wait a few days and retest. For personalized advice and support, consider scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider. They can offer guidance and help address any concerns you may have. Your health and peace of mind are important.

I had unprotected intercourse on May 5th and i took ipill on 7th May , but still I hvent got my periods so what should I do

Female | 17

After taking the i-pill on May 7th following unprotected intercourse, a delay in your period can occur due to the pill's hormonal effects. To address concerns, take a pregnancy test if your period is overdue.

Good morning Doctor,, I got my period January 4th and saw another January ending ,, and so was supposed to see it in February but I haven't seen it up til date I don't know what the problem is

Female | 22

Your menstrual cycle appears delayed, something caused by various factors. Stress, abrupt weight fluctuations, hormone imbalances, or health issues like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) might explain this. If sexually active, pregnancy remains a potential reason. Consulting a gynecologist would provide clarity, allowing exploration of suitable next steps.

Hey, good day I am concern because I've seen 4 boils or bumps on my vagina for a couple days now, 2 on the lips one outside and one inside and they are very painful and between my perineum I don't know if it's tear or anything but that hurts also anytime move, and lastly everytime I sit up something runs out of my vagina (discharge maybe) but why does it smells an burns when touches the boil I can also smell it through my clothes. What should I do?

Female | 18

It seems like you have a Bartholin's cyst or an abscess. This could make your vagina painful and affected with lumps. Pain and bad smell may be experienced if the lumps are filled with pus. These problems occur when the Bartholin’s glands get blocked or infected. You can ease them by taking warm baths and maintaining proper hygiene. However, I advise that you visit a gynecologist for further diagnosis and treatment.

Hi my name is Tamz We have being trying a lot to have a baby This happened we like did it then the next morning I had my period I am always feeling like vomiting now day after eating anything

Female | 24

Getting sick after eating may be one of the possibilities and, given the potential recent conception, could be linked to hormonal changes. On the other hand, it might be stress or changes in your diet that are causing this. It is a must to monitor your symptoms. If vomiting doesn’t stop or even gets worse, my advice for you is to visit a gynecologist. They will check you more thoroughly and also be able to discuss with you some pregnancy tests or other evaluations.

Hi, I wanted to know that if my friend's periods are delayed by 15 days, is it a worry? Or it happens normally.? She's 21 . This is the first time her periods are late actually. She is not sexually active as well. What to do to induce her menstrual cycle.

Female | 20

Your friend's late period might seem concerning, but it's natural for young women. Skipped cycles happen due to stress, routine changes, or minor illnesses. With no sexual activity, pregnancy is out of the picture. To restart her cycle naturally, encourage a balanced diet, exercise, and stress management through deep breaths or yoga. However, if the delay persists or other symptoms arise, seeing a gynecologist is advisable.

Hi I have never had penetrative sex Me and my fiance had genitalia touched And it was my period date which was already 29 We did on 30 I have periods symptom but no period Is this pregnancy?

Female | 26

Since you haven't had penetrative sex, the chances of pregnancy are quite low. Sometimes stress, changes in routine, or even excitement can delay your period. The act itself might have caused a bit of hormonal fluctuation which could delay your cycle. It's quite common, actually. My advice would be to give it a few more days, stay calm, and see if your period arrives. If not, you can always take a home pregnancy test for peace of mind.

I had my Periods on 25th March 2024 and Missed my periods on 25th april , had an unprotected intercourse on 30th April, and since then doing every possible thing to get periods like exercise and home remedies i had my exams in may so sleep was disturbed i tested on 20th may, 28th may 5th june 12th june all 4 tests were negative, still no periods. I left my gym on 12th april and have irregular periods but past 9 months were regular since i joined gym otherwise once year it used to get skipped. I had no symptoms of pregnancy till now just not able to sleep till 2 at night and tired all day sleepy and my haemoglobin level remains low like around 10 11 12. I experienced sticky white vaginal discharge too after 25th may and in june too but it was not in excess amount. Doctor what should i do now its 80 days late ?

Female | 23

Ovulation may be skipped for several health reasons other than being pregnant. Sending your body into your flight or fight mechanism, irregular exercise, and not enough iron in your blood can all cause your menstrual cycle to deviate. The slimy kind of discharge you are describing is also known as a normal variant. To help you get your period in order, relax, eat well, and go to a gynecologist if you feel unwell.

"Hi, l'm seeking some clarity about my health. Last month, I experienced vaginal soreness and white discharge, and I visited a clinic. The doctor examined me, saw the discharge, and assumed it was an STI without running any tests. She prescribed me some pills, but a month later, the symptoms returned. I went for testing this time, and surprisingly, my results came back negative for STls. I'm confused and worried about what might be causing my symptoms. Could it be a different infection, a reaction to the pills, or something else entirely? I'd appreciate your help in figuring out what's going on and finding a solution."

Female | 20

Vaginal soreness and white discharge can be due to various reasons other than STls. Nonetheless, great that you had a test, and one that was negative it is likely that you got another vaccine - like a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. These can provide the same symptoms but the treatment is different. Consult a gynecologist for more tests and correct medication.

I got my periods on 30th sep morning. It lasted for 5 days. I had sex on 6th october night, 7th october morning, 7th october night. I suspect that the condom broke in 7th october morning session. My partner told that it was not broken. But as a precaution i took an ipill on 9th october 9:36 am. I experienced breast pain on 18th october. I usually have breast pain before periods. On 29th october, i saw a clot of blood while peeing. It was dark brown. I thought it was my periods but tgere was no flow the whole day. On 30 october, dark brown blood just like spotting. Leg pain on 29 and 30 october and mild cramps as well. Lil brown blood discharge on 1 and 2 November but lil bit more as compared to on 29 and 30 october. I dont know if this is my period or something worse like pregnancy

Female | 19

The breast pain you experienced could indeed be related to hormonal changes, especially if you usually have it before your periods. The clot of dark brown blood could be implantation bleeding, which can happen when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus. The spotting and mild cramps could be early signs of your period or possibly related to taking the emergency contraceptive pill. Leg pain can sometimes occur due to hormonal fluctuations as well. It's good that you took precautions with the pill. To ease your worries, consider taking a pregnancy test for clarity. And if these symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and guidance.

I have consumed i pill 3 months back.That month i got the periods.After that also i had unprotected sex.Now for 2 months i missed nu periods.I have tested using pregnant kit.But it negative.Any issues

Female | 25

Although missed periods could be caused by several things, not just pregnancy, it is still good to check. Stress, hormone disarray, or even the emergency pill you consumed months back may be responsible for this shift in your cycle. In fact, the absence of periods is not always a guarantee that pregnancy has occurred. Check for additional signs and consider seeing a gynecologist for a complete examination.

Sir, I am 12 weeks pregnanct my gp suggested me progestrone tablet thrice a day but I missed 2 times.. and now i am spotting red ... what to do

Female | 31

It's crucial you take prescribed meds, mainly during pregnancy. Spotting red blood seems problematic. Missing a progesterone tablet may mess with hormone levels, thus causing the spotting episode. Promptly contact your gynecologist about missed doses and the spotting.

Female | 25

It's important to keep an eye on irregular periods. They can signal hormonal imbalances, stress changes, or even medical issues. Tracking your cycle helps you notice any shifts in cycle length. But when your cycle is irregular, knowing when you're fertile can be tricky. If you're worried, talk to a gynecologist about it.

My period cycle was 28 days and lasted for 5 days normally but this time my last period was for 5 days but in first two days i only had spotting and now it is 10th day of my periods and it is not stopping I am out of country so i just bought nexamic 500 is that ok ..and can i go to gym and do some weight lifting will that effect my periods

Female | 27

\Since your period has extended unusually and started with spotting, it could be due to hormonal imbalance, stress, travel, or a temporary cycle shift.

Nexamic 500 (tranexamic acid) is generally used to reduce heavy or prolonged bleeding, and it’s safe for short-term use if you have no history of clotting disorders. However, it’s always better to take it under a guidance of gynecologist, especially if bleeding continues beyond 2–3 days of medication.

As for the gym and weight lifting, light to moderate exercise is usually fine, but heavy workouts can increase strain and may slightly impact bleeding. It's best to avoid intense weight lifting until your bleeding settles.

If the bleeding continues for more than 12–14 days or gets heavier, please seek local medical care as it may need further evaluation.

Female | 22

Experiencing white discharge can be normal as your body may be responding to hormonal changes from the pill. This discharge can vary in consistency and color. However, if you notice unusual symptoms such as a strong odor, itching, or irritation, it’s best to consult a gynecologist for reassurance and proper evaluation.

Taking ellaOne within an hour of sex reduces pregnancy risk.. ellaOne is 98% effective if taken immediately after sex. ellaOne may cause side effect like HEADACHE, nausea, and FAitGue.. ellaOne is not effective after 5 days of sex.. If you miss your period, take a pregnancy test...
