Hi,
The duration of the menstrual cycle varies between 21 to 40 days, with an average of 28 days in most women. It is, therefore, too early to detect an early pregnancy with only 2 day missed periods. However, You can request a blood beta HCG levels to help establish an early diagnosis of pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
