What is the Best Time to Do a Home Pregnancy Test?
When trying to conceive, the infamous “two-week wait” between ovulation and an expected period can seem endless. Many women are too impatient to wait until the expected date of their menstrual period to see whether they are pregnant, and with today’s home pregnancy tests (HPTs), they generally don’t have to. Certain HPTs can detect the hormone indicating pregnancy as early as three days before an expected period. But that’s not necessarily the best time to do a home pregnancy test.
