Default How long does it take for the pregnancy hormone to show in urine? - 12-21-2008, 04:35 PM

I'm 6 days late. I have never been late before, normally have a 29 day cycle. I tested after being 1 day late - negative. Then tested after being 5 days late in the morning, however I don't think I did the test correctly as I should have dipped the tester stick in the urine. Result was negative.My breasts are bigger, not tender really. My stomach is bloated and I have slight cramping. I feel more tired than usual lately too. I think I may be pregnant. When should I test again and how long can it take before the pregnancy hormone shows in urine?

If you have missed your period already then the pregnancy test should be able to detect the HcG hormone in your urine. I would say test again. Make sure you read the directions and if you are worried about doing it incorrectly then pee in a cup first and then dip the pregnancy test into the urine.Good Luck!

98% of the pregnancy tests are positive 15+ days after ovulation.

PMS symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are a lot a like!If your late then a test should give you an accurate response. Unless you ovulated later then you thought.If you get a negative I would keep testing every few days as HCG doubles every few days.
