Can I take a pregnancy question a week after my period was suppose to come?
Obviously too stupid enough to be even having sex but a lot of pregnancy tests say stuff like “early test” and that best results are like before expected period. Can I take a pregnancy test after I was supposed to get my period? So after my missing period. My situation is really complicated with periods and things but is there like a specific test I need for after missing period or I can just take any of them? Any links to any good ones they have at cvs or walgreens. I feel really stupid asking this type of question but anything would be nice.. thank you.

Any pregnancy test will work after the period is missing. Even the ones that claim to work before the period is missing.
All pregnancy tests are just looking for certain hormones. Some tests are just more sensitive than other tests - but you can use any of them once the period is late.

If your period is already late, you can take any test.
Take it at least 7 to 8 days after having missed a period, as sometimes, a period does come a little later than expected. Many factors can influence a late period. Also, when taking the pregnancy test, take it first thing in the morning as your urine is not diluted at that time and your HCG hormones are more easily detected.
I prefer using Digital Tests... as you can see if you browse through the Questions in this category, you will find many questions like "This is a faint line, am I pregnant?", etc... avoiding any confusion.. just buy the digital one from the start. Brand I used is CLEARBLUE.
