    If you are fairly normal with your peiod, you can take one now. A pregnancy test can give you an accurate result the day after you miss your period.

    Or you can just wait until you are 10 days late and go into your clinic, since you'll have to take one there as well before they set up your first prenatal appointment.

    You can take a pregnancy test after the first day missed period. I suggest that you wait atleast a week before taking it. Sometimes stress can throw a cycle off. Are you having any symptoms of pregnancy or just a missed cycle?

    I don't think you need to wait that long, i took the pregnancy test as soon i missed my period And it was positive i think you can take the test already. Good Luck Honey.God Bless
