I am a married woman of 41 with no kids. I last had unprotected sex with my husband on 11th October, 2018. My period was to start from 23rd October, 2018 but it hasn't started till now. Do I need to take a home-based pregnancy confirmation test with kit? If yes, when should I do the test?

If you have regular periods, you can do the test soon after you miss your periods. SO, please do the test. Make sure you start taking Folic acid tablets, which are essential vitamins if you are planning a pregnancy.

Dear Ms. lybrate-user, Thanks for your enquiry. You can do the test even today and whatever the results consult a Gynaecologist.
