Hello,

Home pregnancy test gives positive result around 96-99% after 7 days of missed period or due date. Blood test for beta-HCG is more reliable than pregnancy kit test.

For 100% confirmation, pelvic USG scan is advisable. Though there are some other reasons of late period like hormonal imbalance, stress, irregular diet habit, over weight or rapid loss etc.

Consult with your gynecologist for relevant investigation and take suggestive measures.

All the best.
