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.
Though it is possible that a pregnancy test will detect a pregnancy a couple of days before the start of your period, a false negative is more likely in this time period. Take the test after the time when your period should have started and it will be much more accurate. By 1 week + the test should be positive if you're in fact pregnant.
