Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for writing to us.

It is advisable to wait for one week before you do a pregnancy test to avoid a false report. As you have mentioned, your due date was four days prior to this day. Please do the test after a week. If you do not want to wait, then you can go for a blood pregnancy test. Just do serum beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). It will confirm your pregnancy even before you miss a period. I hope this helps you. Feel free to revert if you have any other queries. Thanks.

Do not worry. You have enough time in your hand, you can abort through pills till seven weeks, and if you want to go for an assisted abortion, you can do it till 19 weeks.
