That depends on what type of test you use, as each test has it's own guidelines about when and how to test to get an accurate result. So you'll need to consult the directions on the test you buy.

Does getting your period automatically mean you are not pregnant?

If you test the day next to the day you were supposed to get your period, and do not use first morning Urine.. can you trust the result ??? (Plus it's exactly 14 days avubce risk)

Gurl93: this post is on the Ask Us board, which is for the original poster and staff/volunteer replies only.
