I need some advice.. I'm sort of freaking out.

Exactly how long after missing a period does it take to be accurate?

I mean, she took the EPT 3 days after she missed her period, now we're on day 4 and still no period..
Thanks for the help,
Eric

is she stressing over this? Stress can very easily throw her off...

Been there done that!

Personally i'd try not to stress (Ha easier said than done I know!) grab another HPT if she hasn't had it in a few days (So she's about a week late) then try again...

see how it goes then think about going to the doctor for a blood test...

Also try and have her take the test first thing whens he wakes up....that way the urine isn't dolluted

Pregnancy tests are accurate as soon as you've missed your period. If she isn't on birth control, then being two or three days late isn't really *that* late. If she's more than a week late, consider taking the test again.

Thanks alot,

The reason we were really concerned was that usually her body telegraphed the signals of an oncoming period pretty well. That wasn't happening. But now things were starting to get under control, still no period, but I'm hoping for the best..

PS this really sucks. Hear me kids? avoid this at all costs.
