One of the conditions necessary to determine pregnancy is the presence of symptoms of menopause. If your period is usually regular and you don’t have your period when it normally comes, and your period is delayed for more than 2-3 days, it is possible to do a test to determine if you are pregnant by using an early morning pregnancy test. It is generally recommended to keep the first urine in the early morning for checking, if the two lines on the paper strip are red, it means that you are pregnant, but later on, you need to ultrasound and blood test for HCG to finally determine whether the baby is pregnant in the uterus or outside the uterus. If you want to know if you are pregnant earlier, you can have your blood drawn 2-3 days before your period. This is because a blood test for HCG can often detect pregnancy about 1 week earlier than a urine test.
