When should I take a home pregnancy test? Many home pregnancy tests claim to be accurate as early as the first day of a missed period â or even before. You're likely to get more accurate results, however, if you wait until after the first day of your missed period or, better yet, one week after your missed period. Why wait?
Pregnancy Tests. Rule out pregnancy by taking a home pregnancy test as soon as you realize that you have missed a period. Such tests are widely available online and over-the-counter. Performed correctly, these pregnancy tests have a 97% accuracy rate. If the test is negative, and you are trying to conceive and have missed more than three to six months of periods, then you will definitely need to see a doctor.
