Early Pregnancy Signs and Symptoms Answer A3735 Posted: 02-25-08 10:58am
The earliest you can perform a pregnancy
test is five (5) days before the next
expected menstrual period is due to
arrive. The pregnancy test has should be
performed in a laboratory via blood test
because a home pregnancy test based on
urine is valid only after the expected
period is missed.
