Does this test work if you take if after your period was supposed to start, like a day or 2 later? ...or is it meant to be taken prior to only?

Pregnancy tests are more likely to be accurate the later after your missed period you take them, so a day or two later would be better than taking before your missed period for accuracy.

Absolutely! The "can detect as early as 6 days before your missed period" are just for people who like to know that much sooner. From experience, I have done it both ways, and it works. When it was done BEFORE my missed period, the positive line shows up faint, and they always recommend to follow up with another test about a week later anyways to be sure.

Can be taken before or after, it is supposed to work better after a missed period.

They won't detect that early I had to test 3 days before my period to get a accurate reading

According to info. provided with the product For Premenopausal (still menstruating) Take 1/4 teaspoon for 14 days then stop on the first day of your period. Resume dosage one week after period. So two weeks on, then two weeks off monthly. For Post menopausal (menstrual cycle has stopped) Take 1/4 teaspoon for 21 days, then stop for 7 days. So three weeks on, one week off. Resume dosage after 7 days. For external use only. Can be rubbed into arm, thigh, chest, neck, or wrist. Essentially upper area of body. I hope this helps.

No, but it's better if it is concentrated. If you drink a lot of fluids through the day, the urine is usually not concentrated. That is why they recommend morning urine, which is approximately 8 hours after your last drink. My wife used to test twice a day and once the hcg level was above 50, it used to show up positive all the time with any urine, day or night.

You should see the two lines. It also could be how late or close you are to your cycle and may not be a strong hormone yet also. If you have not already missed your period, the hormone may not be present because you're just naturally late. If you're only a day or two late, I would recommend trying again after another day or so. Make sure you are following the instructions for how to use it. I highly recommend taking the test with your first morning pee.

The supplement will not effect the ovulation process of the test. The accuracy of the test is within 1 or 2 days, I bought the test for my partner and we had it calculated down to the day before going to the doctor for the official results.

Each test can only be used once. I got a 3 pack, so I could test 3 times. The results shown on the digital screen lasted for about 8 hours after use and then disappeared. I was hoping to save my positive result for a pregnancy announcement photo, but that won't be happening...

I think everyone's replies are correct - that morning and evening are best. When you get there, for what it's worth, pregnancy tests are different. Doesn't matter how diluted your pee is, it will give you the same result.

It does say to stop taking it once you become pregnant so I would say any time before your two-week wait, such as the first day of your period.

The directions tell you to NOT use your first morning urination because it is measuring LH surge that happens later in the day typically. They also say to test the same time of day so I usually test around 12-2pm every day when your LH surge is expected to happen.

Unfortunately, I think you are in trouble. I'd already taken over 60 days off (73, I think it was but would need to confirm) and I still tested positive there consecutive times even after using this. In my case, I ended up buying synthetic urine and passing the test with that instead.Good luck, but based on my experiences, plural, with this, I think you need to find a better solution.

It doesn't matter when you take it, as this test is just for "fun". The reason they say it's not to be taken prior to 6 weeks is because that is the point at which the developing baby is either becomes a boy, or remains a girl. (All developing unborn babies prior to that are always girls, as the process that makes a fetus a boy or girl occurs about then. Therefore, it is impossible to know prior to that. This was probably the only scientific knowledge used in creating this test.)

I always use them right after. I collect my urine in a disposable cup and use the test strips right away. It always works for me. Hope this helps!

I would say give it a week and take another test. I stopped taking bc pills in January and started fertilaid mid January. The first day I missed my cycle I took a test it was negative but 5 days later when I took another one it tested positive.

I'm not a professional anything but I would say no because the hormone needs to mimic a normal menstrual cycle. So, 25 days in a row am and pm then off 5 days.

When I found out I was pregnant through these tests I had 2 distinct lines. The broken line may mean there is a defect? After missing your period for 5 days I would assume you would have enough HCG hormone to detect a pregnancy.

I believe this "theory" is based on the idea that you'll miss your LH surge for that day, by testing urine in the morning (which would have collected overnight). However, an LH surge can happen at any time, so you could miss it for the day no matter what time you're testing (you would, however, detect it in the next test). The only drawback to testing in the morning is that if you test, for example, at 6am on day 10, you're really only testing 6 hours from day 10 and 18 hours from day 9. You may want to keep this in mind when determining your testing window. Also, it should be noted that the directions do NOT state a specific window to test in, merely that you should test at the same time every day.
