When to take pregnancy test when late?

DubDani · 2008-07-23 17:34:45

My wifes cycle usually works like a swiss watch, but this month she is almost a week overdue. We were thinking about trying a pregnancy test, but are not sure from when on you normally use one. Are they usually accurate straight away, or does it need a certain amount of time after you were due to work properly? Cheers,…

You can get one called first response that can be used for 4 days before your period is due. Usually once you're overdue on cycle they're all pretty acurate. Most people get an at home test first and if its positive follow up with a test with the doctor. If its not positive wait a few days and if period hasn't come try again. Good Luck!
