Is it possible to have missed a period but still be too early test for the pregnancy hormone?
It is possible to have missed a period and still be too early to detect the pregnancy hormone in a urine or blood test.
The earliest that a pregnancy test can detect the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), is typically 10 to 14 days after ovulation. However, it can take even longer for hCG levels to rise to detectable levels in some cases.
If you have missed a period and are concerned that you may be pregnant, it is recommended to wait a few days before taking a pregnancy test to increase the chances of an accurate result. Alternatively, you can consult with a healthcare professional for advice and further testing.
