I am officially one day late for my period and am going to have a blood test this afternoon. How accurate do you think the blood test would be since I'm only 1 day late?

Both my blood and urine test came back positive a week before my period was even due. They are very accurate. They test for HCG hormone which is produced when the fertilized egg implants.

A blood pregnancy test usually becomes positive several days before you miss your period, or 10-11 days after ovulation. An hCG level below 5 mIU is considered negative, and a level above 25 mIU is positive. At a blood hCG level between 5 and 25, most doctors probably repeat the test 2-3 days later. A rise above 25 mIU means you are pregnant.

The blood test is very acurate. If your going for the test, ask the doctor how accurate it will be if your only one day late.

blood tests are very accurate and they can tell within 3-5 days after ovulation. So you will def. be able to find out this afternoon. Congrats if you are and if not then have fun continuing to try!! Good luck!

The blood test is really accurate...it can detect the HCG level up to a week before your period...so the result you get 99.9% the true result...GOOD LUCK...

Quite accurate...considering some urine tests will pick up the pregnancy hormone before you even miss your period!
Good Luck

Very accurate. They detect changes in your blood that takes place before changes in your urine.
