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.
Plus doctors can also give a pelvic examination. Home pregnancy tests, if done correctly, can be 99% accurate. However, many women test too early in their cycles, not giving enough time for hCG to build up in her system. Itâs best to take the test after you have missed a period, or 14 days after ovulation. Testing any earlier can give you negative results.
