So yeah, some of us are a little out there, and touchy-feely.. But that's not all that guides our practice. Remember, naturopathic doctors go to real medical school. We take real board exams. Our hippie medicine works, and what we do is becoming less alternative and more conventional everyday.
Understanding How Early Result Pregnancy Tests Work. Early results tests promise results three or four days before your missed period. These tests assume a 14-day luteal phase, the time between ovulation and when you get your period. The problem is that you may have a shorter or longer luteal phase.
Doctors may offer you a blood pregnancy test because this test can confirm a pregnancy as early as 10 days after a missed period (around 6-8 days after you have ovulated) -- and sometimes, these tests can detect hCG even earlier. You must go to your doctor's office to get a blood pregnancy test.
