Is pregnancy test more accurate in the evening than in the morning? Can I use PT near its expiration date?

I dont know if buntis po ako. Kasi 9 days delayed na po ako. Normal pa ba yun? Regular talaga period ko. Pero kasi may instances ako na dati, 2 months and 7 months ako di nagkaroon. Then nag pt ako kagabi, negative naman. Pero hindi ko alam kung accurate ba sa gabi, kasi ang sabi is mas maganda if umaga mag pregnancy test. And medyo malapit na din kasi expiration ng PT ng ginamit ko, next month na, pwede pa ba yun? Help pls

Atsaka doc, last week pa po kasi sumasakit ang puson ko na akala ko magkakaroon na ako. Pero ayun nga po 9 days delayed na nga po ako, pero nung mga sumunod na araw nawala po yung sakit ng puson ko. Tapos biglang sumakit naman ang hita ko, at medyo nakakaramdam ulit ng pagsakit ng puson ngayon, magkakaregla na po ba ako?

Hi Anon,

Well pregnancy test kit isn't 100% accurate whether you use it in the morning or in the evening. The most accurate test to check if you are pregnant is by using the ultrasound.

It's okay to have irregular menses up to 3 months. Minsan, apektado ng lifestyle, work at weather conditions ang hormones ng isang babae, kaya nag-iiba ang menstrual cycle.

Mas makabubuti na magpakonsulta ka sa isang OB GYN para masuri kung ano ang dahilan kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay wala ka pang regla at matiyak narin kung ikaw ay nagdadalang tao o hindi.

Balitaan mo ako sa resulta.
