AnswerThe best time to take a pregnancy test is seven days after missing your period. If your last period started on April 5, you should have started your next period on May 2. Therefore, if you did not get your period by May 9, a pregnancy test any time after that is accurate. If you got your period on 5/4 it is doubtful that you are pregnant, despite the positive urine tests. If you have any doubts, take a blood test for pregnancy.
