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.
For confirming pregnancy, the timing of testing depends on how accurate a woman is about the day she expects her menstrual period as well as the method used for testing. In general, blood tests are more sensitive than urine tests and can be done two days before a woman would expect her period to start.A urine or blood hCG test can be done reliably by 10 days after a missed menstrual period.Even using a urine test, a woman may be able to determine whether she is pregnant the day she misses her period, but the result could be falsely negative.ccasionally, an hCG test is used to screen for pregnancy if a woman is to undergo a medical treatment, be placed on certain drugs, or have other testing, such as x-rays, that might harm the developing baby. This is usually done to help confirm that the woman is not pregnant.
