Q: Pregnancy Testing?

Hey girls.

My cousin has been having unprotected sex over the last two weeks, and her period was due a week ago. But still no sign.

Well all I need to know is how early can she have a pregnancy test that is accurate?

Is it a week?

Thanks for any replies girls!

Xx

As far as I know, she can test if her period was only one day late, so I think she should be safe to test. I would also suggest a blood test regardless of the outcome just to rule out false results.

She will be able to test now for accurate results. Most tests say from day of missed period. Some even earlier.
