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.
Fortunately, you no longer have to wait until you miss your period to take a pregnancy test and possibly receive accurate results. There are many pregnancy tests on the market today that allow you to test up to six days before your period is due. However, most tests are accurate about two weeks after possible conception. Note, possible conception could be anytime between about one and five days after sex, depending on when you had sex in your fertile window in relation to ovulation.
