When should you take a pregnancy test?

You can use most home pregnancy tests from the first day of a missed period. If you do not know when your period is due, wait at least 21 days after the last time you had unprotected sex.

Do I need to test in the morning?

According to the NHS, a urine pregnancy test can be taken at any time of day. Check the instructions for your kit and read the result within the stated time window.

What if the result is negative?

An early test may be negative even if you are pregnant. Wait a few days and test again if your period still has not arrived. Seek medical advice if a second test is negative and your period is still missing.

What if it is positive?

Contact a healthcare professional to arrange next steps. Note the date of the test and, if known, the first day of your last period.
